 | | The disadvantage of primidone is that studies have shown dogs treated with primidone were more likely to show laboratory evidence of liver changes. | | | Primidone is rapidly converted to PEMA and phenobarbital in dogs. | | | All three metabolites PEMA, primidone and phenobarbital have similar anticonvulsant actions, however primidone is metabolized very rapidly in dogs and contributes very little to the overall anti-seizure activity. |

| Â | Are You Biotin Deficient? |
| | A number of drugs deplete biotin levels, such as antibiotics (tetracycline, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, penicillin, macrolides, fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins) and sedative and anti-epileptic drugs (phenytoin, barbiturates, carbamazepine, phenobarbitol and primidone). | | | Diabetics may have a deficiency of certain enzymes in the body (biotin-dependant enzymes), which may lead to a biotin deficiency and possible problems in the nervous system. |
