What medications are effective for treating myasthenia gravis?

Patients with myasthenia gravis can take cholinesterase inhibitors, immunoglobulin and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's advice. If the condition is more severe, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor promptly and undergo surgical treatment. Here are the treatment options:

1. Oral Medication:

a. Cholinesterase Inhibitors: Common drugs mainly include Pyridostigmine Bromide Tablets and Edrophonium Chloride Tablets, which can improve muscle strength and achieve the purpose of delaying disease progression to a certain extent.

b. Immunoglobulin: It is usually a protein substance that has the effect of regulating immunity and enhancing physical fitness. If the patient's condition is severe, with difficulty in swallowing, this type of medication can also be used as prescribed.

2. Injection Medication:

If the patient's symptoms cannot be effectively relieved and dyspnea occurs, tracheal intubation or tracheotomy can be performed to avoid delaying the condition.

3. Surgical Treatment:

If the patient's condition is severe and even affects normal life, it is recommended to undergo thoracoscopic lung transplantation to supplement the body with necessary nutrients. After surgery, attention should be paid to wound care, avoiding contact with water for a short time, and also avoiding touching the area with hands, as this may increase the risk of bacterial infection. In addition, patients need to regularly go to the hospital for follow-up checks to keep track of any changes in their condition.
