Primidone is slowly absorbed after oral administration, with peak levels occurring 2 to 4 hours after dosing.
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.
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 converted to phenobarbital, PEMA and primidone.
It is estimated that 80-85% of the antiseizure effects of Primidone is due to the Phenobarbital.
Since Primidone is broken down to PB, Primidone and PEMA, the PB level range is 15-40 ug/ml while the Primidone range is 5-15 ug/ml.
