Valeant Pharmaceuticals (purchased by ICN) quit manufacturing Tensilon, roughly, 3 or 4 years ago, or more. It's my understanding that some hospitals still have a few vials left. Tensilon was administered here, only in hospital.
Some of you may not be aware of this but with respect to the Tensilon test, patients were given a placebo, along with Tensilon. In this way, they could get objective results.
Atropine remains a very valuable drug, for one, in cholinergic crises...if they can figure out that it is in fact, cholinergic! That can get iffy.
