Can Primidone Cause Hot Flashes?

Does primidone cause something like hot flashes. I am 73 yrs old and have never had hot flashes bfor, even when i was supposed to. But now i am hot off and on and sweat on my head and neck. This is most uncomfortable. I just started primadone about 2 months ago and havent started any other new drugs in the same time.

Hi,

Yes, Primodone can cause hot flushes. It is actually a hormone pill. It can cause hormonal imbalance which ultimately causes hot flushes.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
