PROSTIGMIN

Prostigmin Information

Most physicians from all over the world are familiar with Prostigmin (also called neostigmine bromide). This medication is a popular anticholinesterase agent that is available in most pharmacies for oral administration (each tablet contains about 15-mg of medication). Among this drug’s main ingredients are lactose, gelatin, stearic acid, corn starch, talc and sugar.

Prostigmin Indications

Prostigmin has gained the confidence of physicians, who generally prescribe it to patients who are suffering from myasthenia gravis and who are experiencing the unpleasant symptoms that this medical condition triggers. Tests have shown that a prolonged and proper treatment with Prostigmin is highly useful, especially in the case of patients who do not present any difficulties in swallowing. We recommend patients who are suffering from the acute form of this medical disorder (those who present breathing difficulties and trouble swallowing) to consider using the parenteral form of Prostigmin (neostigmine methylsulfate), that has proven to be much more useful in such medical cases. After a period of treatment with neostigmine methylsulfate, the patient can easily be prescribed the oral form of this medication (as soon as his or her medical condition improves).

Prostigmin Warnings

Like all other medications, Prostigmin is contraindicated in the case of patients who are hypersensitive to this drug’s components. It is each patient’s responsibility to make sure whether he or she is suffering from any allergic reaction to this medicine before starting a treatment with it. This is easily accomplished, as all you have to do is visit your local pharmacist and ask him or her to give you a complete list of the components that a dose of Prostigmin generally contains. Read the list carefully. If you are not sure whether you are allergic or not to one or more of this drug’s ingredients, you should perform an allergy test at the nearest medical setting. Inform your personal physician of the results. As a dose of this medication contains the bromide ion, this drug should not be prescribed to patients who are allergic to bromides. Furthermore, a therapy with this medication is also contraindicated in the case of sufferers of peritonitis or mechanical obstruction of the urinary and / or intestinal tract.

Extra care should be employed in the case of patients who are suffering from diseases such as: bronchial asthma, epilepsy, bradycardia, vagotonia, recent coronary occlusion, cardiac arrhythmias, hyperthyroidism or peptic ulcer. It is known that 15 mg of the oral form of neostigmine bromide matches 0.5 mg of the parenteral form of this medication, as the tablet is far more poorly absorbed by the intestinal tract. Patients who might have an increased absorption rate at their intestinal tract should avoid taking in extra large doses of this medication. If a patient who is using Prostigmin is also taking in any type of anticholinergic medical products, he or she ought to be carefully monitored during their therapy with this medication, as such a combination of medicines generally reduce intestinal motility.

Prostigmin belongs to the wide class of Category C Pregnancy medicines. No well control or adequate studies that involved this medication have been performed in either female human patients or on laboratory animals. This is why the effects that such a medication could have on a growing fetus still remain a mystery. However, they might include severe fetal harm, which could trigger dangerous birth complications. A treatment with any anticholinesterase medication is known to sometimes trigger uterine irritability. Other possible effects include the induction of premature labor, especially if this medication is given intravenously to female pregnant patients near term.

Prostigmin Intake Guidelines

The oral form of Prostigmin has a slower onset of action than the parenteral form of this medication. However, the duration of the medicine’s effects is longer and the intensity of the beneficial effects are also more uniform in the case of the oral form. In frequent medical cases, a therapy with this medication is required night and day. Larger amounts of the total dose of Prostigmin that one should take in per day can be taken when the patient is more prone to tiredness (mealtimes, afternoon, and so on).

Prostigmin Dosage

The usual dosage requirements of Prostigmin in order to achieve optimal results vary from one medical case to another (between 15 mg and 375 mg per day). However, the severe forms of the disease require higher doses of this medication. However, extra large doses ought to be avoided in order to diminish your risk of developing cholinergic crisis must be recognized.

Prostigmin Overdose

Patients who experience over dosage might also start suffering from myasthenic crisis that is also accompanied by severe muscular weakness. Ask your physician for further information.
