Mestinon

60mg
Mestinon is the brand name for the drug pyridostigmine, which comes in either tablets or raspberry-flavored syrup. It also can be prescribed in a timespan capsule, which releases a uniform amount of medication throughout the day, helping keep symptoms consistently controlled. It is used in the treatment of Myasthenia gravis, a disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks certain receptors and causes weakness or paralysis in the muscles or nervous system. Mestinon is part of a class of drugs called cholinesterase inhibitors, which work by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, the chemical which sends nerve impulses to the muscles. Mestinon allows more acetylcholine to accumulate. The result of Mestonin therapy is increased control of muscle activity for patients with Myasthenia gravis. Mestinon has been the most effective drug therapy used for Myasthenia gravis for almost fifty years. It is not a cure for Myasthenia gravis, but it can alleviate the symptoms and help patients live actively and productively.
