Default difference between tensilontest and prostigminetest
What's the difference between both? I read the doctor can diagnose mg with a tensilontest. Is it the same as a prostigminetest?

basically, yes, as is a response to mestinon. they all show the same thing that what ever your illness is, it responds to a medication (injected or oral), that inhibits the activity of the enzyme acetyl-choline esterase.

thanks Alice.

I read that they can make a diagnose with a tensilontest? So they can do it with the prostigmintest also? Because I had the prostigmintest.
