Tony, I have absolutely no experience with this drug and don't know anyone who has. You can download the pdf and compare it to that of Mestinon. It reads just like Mestinon. Is it a generic version? Mrs. D?
Often an "alternative" drug is listed in a formulary because it's cheaper. The insurance company's "co-pay" is, therefore, cheaper. Stick to what you and your doctor have decided is best.

Oh, and Sanofi is the company who also brings us Ketek/Telithromycin, which should not be taken by MGers. Ever.
