And some have tried Tacrolimus/Prograf. It's a macrolide immunosuppressant though and is relatively contraindicated in MG and for those with a cancer history in their family.
Mestinon Syrup kicks in sooner than tablets. On average, Mestinon kicks in about 1/2 hour after taking it and wears off about 2-1/2 hours after taking it. Again, this varies per person somewhat. So, yeah, it's great having only two good hours of muscle strength. |

It doesn't make much sense in my humble opinion to have the side-effects without the benefit. But, what do I know? |

True but this is just what they told me... And if 2 specialist tell you this, what else can you do? They just told me: once you started this, you're never going off it. Pitty they didn't tell me this when I started. However, my goal is reducing the dosage .
