Neostigmine 15mg Uses

Neostigmine 15mg is indicated for:

  • The symptomatic treatment of myasthenia gravis, enhancing muscle strength.

Neostigmine works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that transmits signals across the neuromuscular junction. By preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, Neostigmine increases its concentration and thereby improves communication between nerves and muscles, enhancing muscle contraction and function.
