Is Primidone filtered through the kidneys?

Primidone is primarily metabolized in the liver, and its metabolites are excreted through the kidneys. While some unchanged drug may be eliminated via renal pathways, the majority of its effects and elimination are due to its metabolites, particularly phenobarbital. Therefore, while the kidneys play a role in excreting Primidone's byproducts, the drug itself is not significantly filtered in its unchanged form.
