What is the right medicine for myasthenia gravis?
Asked by Male, 58 · 2 months ago
The primary medication for myasthenia gravis is pyridostigmine, which helps improve muscle strength by enhancing communication between nerves and muscles. In more severe cases, doctors may also prescribe steroids or other immunosuppressant medicines to reduce disease activity and symptoms.
