Kathy, What you posted is very relevant to this conversation!

It does the same thing Mestinon does too. They are currently researching what possible role it can have in a variety of conditions. I didn't mention it because it hasn't been used widely and is not in a "drug" form yet that is regulated.

So it inhibits acetylcholinesterase (enzyme) that actually INCREASES acetylcholine. Well, it doesn't actually increase acetylcholine - it just keeps the enzyme from eating it up so more of it stays around the NMJ.

Thanks, Kathy!!!
