Mestinon SR (active ingredient: pyridostigmine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:
Mestinon SR belongs to a class of drugs known as cholinesterase inhibitors, which work by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, thereby increasing the levels of this neurotransmitter at neuromuscular junctions to improve muscle contraction and strength.
Mestinon SR comes in the form of an extended-release tablet, with a strength of 180 mg, which is taken orally by mouth. Mestinon SR is typically taken once a day, and it should be taken at the same time each day. You should swallow the tablet whole, without crushing or chewing it. Crushing or chewing the tablet can destroy the sustained-release mechanism and lead to too much medication being released at once. The extended-release formulation of pyridostigmine allows for a sustained release of the medication into the body over a longer period, which can be beneficial for patients with myasthenia gravis who require long-term treatment to maintain muscle strength.
The recommended dosage of Mestinon SR for myasthenia gravis ranges from 180-540 mg once daily or every 12 hours. The dose should be spaced out to provide maximum relief and not exceed 1.5 grams per day. Note that the dose of Mestinon SR should be taken as directed by a doctor and may need to be adjusted based on individual patient needs and response to treatment.
Take the medication regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit. Do not exceed your prescribed dose or take it more often or for longer than needed as it may increase the risk of side effects. The moisture may cause discoloration of the tablet forms of the medication, but it doesn’t affect its efficacy.
Mestinon SR (Pyridostigmine) is available in the following forms and strength:
Pyridostigmine may interact with other medications, including anticholinergic drugs, cholinergic agonists, and neuromuscular blocking agents. Inform your healthcare provider of any medications you are taking before starting Mestinon SR.
There is limited information available about the safety of Mestinon SR during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Discuss any potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider before starting this medication.
The dosing schedule for pyridostigmine varies depending on the individual and the severity of their myasthenia gravis. Generally, it is taken multiple times per day, often with food.
