Overview
Pyridostigmine Bromide 60mg Tablets (200 pack) are the cornerstone treatment for myasthenia gravis. The autoimmune condition causing fluctuating muscle weakness, drooping eyelids, double vision and fatigue on exertion. Pyridostigmine boosts the nerve-to-muscle signal by preserving acetylcholine, restoring usable strength within 30-60 minutes of each dose and carrying patients through their daily activities.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Take exactly as prescribed. Doses and timing are individualised to your weakness pattern, often several times daily timed before meals and demanding activities. Take with food or milk if stomach upset occurs. Keep a consistent schedule; many patients fine-tune timing with their neurologist. Do not increase doses yourself.
Too much pyridostigmine causes cholinergic effects. Abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, excessive salivation, sweating, muscle twitching and, importantly, increased weakness that can mimic disease worsening; seek urgent advice if weakness escalates, especially with breathing or swallowing difficulty (myasthenic emergencies need hospital care). Use caution in asthma, slow heart rate, recent heart attack and intestinal or urinary obstruction. Tell every clinician you have myasthenia. Many common medicines worsen it.
