Mestinon (active ingredient: pyridostigmine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Myasthenia Gravis: Mestinon is used for the symptomatic treatment of myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue.
  2. Reversal of Neuromuscular Blockade: It is indicated for the reversal of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockade induced by muscle relaxants during surgical procedures.

Mestinon belongs to a class of drugs known as cholinesterase inhibitors, which work by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, thereby increasing the levels of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction and improving muscle strength and function.

Mestinon typically comes in tablet form and should be taken by mouth with or without food as directed by a healthcare professional. It is usually taken 1 to 2 times daily, at least 6 hours apart. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing. Doing so can release all the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects.

The dosage is based on the individual’s medical condition and response to treatment. Take the dosage regularly to get the most benefit from it and to not increase the dose or use the medication more often or for longer than prescribed, as this can increase the risk of side effects.

The recommended dosages ranged from 600mg/day spaced to provide maximum relief to ten 60mg tablets or ten 5 mL teaspoonfuls daily, spaced to provide maximum relief when maximum strength is needed, to a maximum daily dose of 7 mg/kg per 24 hours divided in five to six doses.
