I heard about a Mestinon shortage in Malta last year. I have to say I do have 3 bottles unopened in the house purely for this reason. As soon as I use the 2nd bottle of my unopened supply I order in 3 more. I shudder at the thought of not having mestinon. I just wouldn't function. Sorry Im probably contributing to the shortage.

As an alternative have you ever tried Neostigmine Bromide? I tried it before I was started on mestinon but I couldn't tolerate it. Awful cramps, vomitting and drooling. But if I didn't have mestinon I would take that even with those side effects.

Im wondering if the shortage is down to Mestinon being used to treat other conditions as well as MG now?

Love
