Mestinon, also known as pyridostigmine, is a medication primarily used to treat myasthenia gravis, a condition that causes muscle weakness. It works by inhibiting the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, thereby enhancing communication between nerves and muscles and improving muscle strength. Additionally, Mestinon is sometimes used to manage certain types of orthostatic hypotension.
