Benefits

Treatment of Myasthenia gravis / Treatment of Paralytic ileus / Treatment of Post-operative urinary retention / Reversal of effect of skeletal muscle relaxant after surgeryTreatment of Myasthenia gravis / Treatment of Paralytic ileus / Treatment of Post-operative urinary retention / Reversal of effect of skeletal muscle relaxant after surgery

In Treatment of Myasthenia gravis Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder that leads to weakness of muscles that are under our control, such as those of the eyes, face, and swallowing. It can result in double vision, drooping eyelids, trouble talking, and trouble walking. It happens due to impaired coordination between muscles and nerves. Myostigmin 2.5mg Injection makes this coordination between nerves and muscles better and relieves the symptoms. As a result, your muscle strength is improved and you are able to lead a better life. In Treatment of Paralytic ileus Paralytic ileus is the obstruction of the intestines due to improper functioning of the nerves and muscles in the intestine that impairs digestive movement. Myostigmin 2.5mg Injection induces contractions in the intestinal muscles and improves their function. As a result, there is better movement of food and this treats the obstruction. Take it as advised by the doctor and follow your doctor?s instructions carefully. In Treatment of Post-operative urinary retention After an operation, there may be problems in emptying the bladder. This may be due to disturbed coordination of nerves and muscles of the bladder. Myostigmin 2.5mg Injection helps to improve this problem and treats postoperative urinary retention effectively. In Reversal of effect of skeletal muscle relaxant after surgery Skeletal muscle relaxants are given to induce anesthesia and to carry out surgical or certain diagnostic procedures. This blocks the conduction of signals between nerves and muscles. After the surgery, Myostigmin 2.5mg Injection is given to reverse this effect and cause muscle contraction again to restore normal function.In Treatment of Myasthenia gravis Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder that leads to weakness of muscles that are under our control, such as those of the eyes, face, and swallowing.
