What is used in the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis?
beta-blockers
Bleomycin
Pyridostigmine (Mestinon)
Folate
The correct answer is: Pyridostigmine (Mestinon)
Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) is used in the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis. It is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that helps improve muscle strength by inhibiting the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is essential for muscle function. Beta-blockers (Choice A) are not typically used in the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis. Bleomycin (Choice B) is an anticancer medication and has no role in the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis. Folate (Choice D) is a vitamin and does not play a significant role in the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis.
