Can Primidone Cause Frequent Urination?
My mother was put on Primidone for shaking. She recently broke her hip and was hospitalized for 27 days. She is now home and has a home health nurse coming to the house. She has been having a problem controlling her bladder and the nurse has told her that Primidone can affect her kidney function. Is this true?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Primidone is a medication used to treat or prevent seizures.
It is not known to affect kidney function or cause incontinence so another cause should be found if possible.
This would require assessment by her doctor and would include physical examination, urine analysis and further test if needed.
I hope this helps
