Neurosyn(Manufactured by: Boehringer Ingelheim)Dose: 250mgQuantity: 1 tablets Price: $0.50 USD Description of Neurosyn Uses Use only in dogs to treat: Idiopathic Epilepsy Archibald6 has reported on the use of primidone in the treatment of idiopathic epilepsy in dogs previously treated with other anticonvulsants without success. In this experience, primidone was found to be an effective agent completely controlling the convulsions in most of the cases studied and reducing the number and severity of seizures in the remaining small percentage. Epileptiform Convulsions Clinically, these convulsions are similar to those of true epilepsy. Primidone may be useful as symptomatic treatment of these convulsions of unknown etiology. Virus Encephalitis, Distemper, Hardpad Disease Which Occurs as a Clinically Recognizable Lesion in Certain Entities in Dogs. Primidone provides an effective means of controlling convulsions associated with infectious neuropathies such as virus encephalitis, distemper or hardpad disease. Supplementation of therapy with primidone is recommended as soon as diagnosis is made. Oliver and Hoerlin (1965), reported that primidone has been the most effective agent in the dog for the control of seizures associated with post distemper convulsions. Clinical experience has revealed that once the seizure of a dog cannot be controlled with primidone, none of the other anticonvulsants is likely to do any better.7 However, it must be borne in mind that primidone does not correct the primary causes of these disorders, but is a valuable adjunct to therapy, making possible control of seizures without hypnosis or interference with proper nutrition. The initial dose of primidone is gradually increased until optimum control of convulsions is achieved, and the dosage level necessary to establish this effect is usually maintained. Primidone has not proved useful in the treatment of chorea.
Dosage and Administration Usual daily dosage-25 mg/lb of body weight (55 mg/kg of body weight). Tablets may be administered whole, or crushed and mixed with food. When convulsions are frequent, the dosage should be divided and administered at intervals. When convulsions occur only every few days, or less often, daily dosage should be given at one time.10 Reduction in dosage should always be made gradually and should never be discontinued abruptly.
