Pyridostigmine

Pyridostigmine Reactions 1704, p328 - 2 Jun 2018 Diarrhoea: case report A 71-year-old man developed diarrhoea during treatment with pyridostigmine for acetylcholine receptor antibody- positive myasthenia gravis (MG) [duration of treatment to reaction onset and outcome not stated]. The man, who was diagnosed with acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive MG, started receiving oral pyridostigmine 120mg daily and tacrolimus. The symptoms of MG relieved. However, due to the subsequent disease progression, he was re-admitted and received treatment with methylprednisolone and immune globulin with an increased dose of tacrolimus. He developed diarrhoea secondary to pyridostigmine treatment. The man’s pyridostigmine treatment was discontinued. Further, he was diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer stage IVB and received chemoradiotherapy. He remained alive with no complaints and no disease progression to date.
