Indicated for: myasthenia gravis; reversal of neuromuscular blockade
Route of administration: oral
Substance: neostigmine bromide (cholinesterase inhibitor)
ATC: N07AA01 (Nervous system | Parasympathomimetics | Anticholinesterases)
Neostigmine bromide is a medication used to treat myasthenia gravis, a condition that causes muscle weakness, and to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants used during surgery. It works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, thereby increasing acetylcholine levels and improving muscle function.
The medication is usually administered via injection under the supervision of a specialist doctor. It is important to use it as directed to avoid side effects or complications.
Side effects may include nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, excessive sweating, or bradycardia (slow heart rate). In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or other complications may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as asthma or heart disease, as these may affect the safety of neostigmine bromide use.
