INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS
Methsuximide may impair the mental and/or physical abilities
required for the performance of potentially hazardous
tasks, such as driving a motor vehicle or other such activity
requiring alertness, therefore, the patient should be
cautioned accordingly.
Patients taking methsuximide should be advised of the
importance of adhering strictly to the prescribed dosage
regimen.
Patients should be instructed to promptly contact their
physician if they develop signs and/or symptoms suggesting
an infection (eg sore throat, fever).
ADVICE TO THE PHARMACIST AND PATIENT: Since methsuximide
has a relatively low melting temperature (124°F),
storage conditions which may promote high temperatures
(closed cars, delivery vans, or storage near steam pipes)
should be avoided. Do not dispense or use capsules that
are not full or in which contents have melted. Effectiveness
may be reduced. Protect from excessive heat (104°F).
