1. WHAT MESTINON IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Mestinon is used for the treatment of myasthenia gravis. In patients

Mestinon belongs to a group of medicines known as cholinesterase
inhibitors. Cholinesterase inhibitors stop the excessive activity of
cholinesterase and in this way help muscles to work properly.
Mestinon is also used to treat some RARE FORMS OF CONSTIPATION
(paralytic ileus) and inability to pass urine after an operation.
2. BEFORE YOU TAKE MESTINON



Section 1).
