What is Mestinon SR used for?
Mestinon SR is a sustained-release version of pyridostigmine designed to manage symptoms of myasthenia gravis with fewer daily doses. It provides more consistent blood levels throughout the day or night.
How does Mestinon SR differ from regular Mestinon?
Unlike the standard formulation, Mestinon SR releases the drug slowly over time, allowing for extended symptom control. It is often taken at bedtime to manage overnight weakness.
Can Mestinon SR be used as a replacement for regular Mestinon?
It may be used in combination with or as a supplement to regular Mestinon but is not always a complete substitute. A physician will determine the best regimen based on patient needs.
What are the side effects of Mestinon SR?
Side effects are similar to the regular version and include gastrointestinal upset, sweating, and muscle twitching. Some patients may experience fewer peaks and troughs in symptoms due to the extended release.
How often is Mestinon SR taken?
Mestinon SR is usually taken once or twice daily, depending on symptom severity and physician recommendations. It should not be crushed or chewed to maintain the extended-release effect.
