When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

During chronic administration, primidone is slowly metabolized by the liver and excreted in the urine as phenylethylmalonamide (PEMA), phenobarbital and p-hydroxyphenobarbital, the latter two of which are pharmacologically active. The plasma clearance of primidone and its metabolites may be decreased and the half-lives prolonged in patients with impaired hepatic and/or renal function. Therapy with primidone should be administered cautiously and initiated at reduced dosages in patients with liver and/or renal disease.
