Mrs. D., Is this another one of those "sound alike" drug things?

Neostigmine Bromide is Prostigmin. Is that what you guys are referring to?

According to the FDA 2008 PDF, which you can find on FDA.gov by searching Neostigmine or Prostigmin is no longer marketed in the United States.

Alice may be able to get it where she is. But in US I don't think it is available for humans. I seem to find it available for animals and veterinary use in US perhaps.

Thanks, Mrs. D. I knew that about Alice. Annie59, do you live in another country too?

Or is it the pyridostigmine bromide pills you are talking about, Annie? Those are the same as Mestinon.
