Jana,
The MG Manual has a section on Cholinesterase Inhibitors (Mestinon):
No fixed dosage schedule suits all patients. The need for cholinesterase inhibitors varies from day to day and during the same day. Different muscles respond differently—with any dose, some muscles get stronger, others do not change and still others become weaker.
Myasthenia Gravis: A Manual for the Health Care Provider (PDF) - page 17
One need to figure out the best schedule for Mestinon.
You can download the PDF MG Manual and keep it for reference. It is also helpful to provide a copy for your sister's neurologist, if he or she does not have it already.
