Default Medications to Avoid - looking for a specific PDF

I know this has been discussed before, but I am looking for a very specific PDF document that I usually use. I gave my last copy to a new doctor and now I can't find the document to print it again. It had either an orange or blue logo, maybe saying "MGA". It was a spreadsheet of medications to avoid or that are cautionary in myasthenics. It numbers them 1-5 as to how dangerous it is to use them if you have myasthenia gravis. It also breaks them down into categories like antibiotics, etc. It also had comments in one column like "safe as topicals" for bacitracin/etc.

I know I saved a copy to my computer, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I've done all the digging online that I can do and can't seem to find this exact document. Can anyone help?

Thanks everyone!

This one looks useful.... but doesn't match your criteria.

I did find this one, but again it's not what I'm looking for. Thank you so much for your reply though. It does look useful. I might save that one too just in case I can't find the other one.

If I do find the other one, I'll post a link to it here so others can find it.

Both are great articles that I've seen, but neither are what I'm looking for. I'm beginning to wonder if it's not online anymore. Like I said I've googled and scoured the internet for it and I just can't seem to find it. I'm going to go check my other computer and see if I can find it on there. If I do, I'll attach it to this thread.

Thanks again for looking everyone! I really appreciate your help.

I finally found it. I had saved a copy on my other computer which was in storage as I'm home from university for the summer.

Thanks again to everyone who helped look for it!

I found the link you are searching for on another MG thread here:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread197634.html

It appears to me that the link is no longer active.

This happens often online. I've searched lists for our Peripheral Neuropathy forum and often those disappear too.
I think it has to do with "going out of date" as new information surfaces, or the original source withdraws the site.

I removed the end portions on the broken link to get to the main site and found this - it may be the one...

[MEDICATIONS
Some medications improve neuromuscular transmission and increase muscle strength. Some medications suppress the production of abnormal antibodies. These medications must be used with careful medical follow-up because they may have major side effects.
OFFICIAL LIST OF MEDICATIONS TO USE WITH CAUTION WHEN LIVING WITH MG.

PDF- MGA Medication List 10-31-13 - this one loads for me as PDF.. It has a key listing # and separate sections..
( http://nebula.wsimg.com/66b88369038a...&alloworigin=1 )]

found on this page-
http://www.mgakc.org/treatment-optio...dications.html


I added this info to the sticky thread also.
