Overview
Mestinon 60mg Tablets contain pyridostigmine, a medicine used mainly to treat myasthenia gravis. A condition in which the muscles become weak and tire easily because nerve signals to the muscles are not transmitted properly. Pyridostigmine boosts the chemical messenger that helps nerves activate muscles, improving muscle strength and reducing weakness, drooping eyelids, double vision and difficulty swallowing. Taken regularly, it helps people with myasthenia gravis carry out daily activities more comfortably. Mestinon is prescribed for adults and children under the supervision of a neurologist or specialist as part of long-term management.
Active ingredient: Pyridostigmine bromide 60 mg per tablet.
Directions for Use
This medicine requires a prescription. Use only as directed by your doctor. The dose and timing are carefully tailored to each person and may be spread through the day to match when muscle strength is most needed; some people take it with food to reduce stomach effects. Take it exactly as prescribed and at the recommended times. Do not change the dose or stop suddenly without medical advice, as your symptoms can change. Keep a note of how your strength varies through the day to discuss with your doctor.
Tell your doctor if you have asthma, a slow heartbeat, epilepsy, bowel or urinary blockage, or kidney problems. Too much pyridostigmine can cause excessive tummy cramps, diarrhoea, watering eyes, increased saliva, muscle twitching or weakness. Report these, as the dose may need adjusting. Mention all other medicines, including those for heart rhythm or muscle relaxation. Tell your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding. Carry information that you take this medicine in case of emergency. Store below 25C in a dry place. This product information is for general guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice.
