Mylan Mestinon 60mg – 100 Tablets
Mylan Mestinon 60mg contains pyridostigmine, a medication primarily used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is a long-term condition that causes muscle weakness, especially in muscles responsible for movement, speech, swallowing, and sometimes breathing.
This condition occurs when communication between nerves and muscles is disrupted. Mestinon works by improving this communication, helping muscles respond better and reducing symptoms of weakness and fatigue.
