Mysoline (Cont.)

How Should Mysoline Be Stored?

Mysoline should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Store the tablets in an airtight container.
 
Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.
 

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?

If you do not take your Mysoline as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose of Mysoline. Be aware that if you usually take Mysoline at bedtime, taking it during the day could cause extreme drowsiness.
 

Mysoline Alternatives

There are several alternatives to Mysoline for treating epilepsy. This can include other seizure medications (see Epilepsy Medication), surgery (see Epilepsy Surgery), or a special diet (see Epilepsy Diet).
 
While Mysoline is often effective and well tolerated, it does not work for everyone. It may also cause side effects. With so many different treatment options available for treating epilepsy, people should not settle for treatment that is not effective enough for them or that causes bothersome side effects.
