Myostigmin 0.5 MG Injection 1 ML contains neostigmine (0.5 mg), which works in the following ways:

• Acetylcholinesterase inhibition: Neostigmine blocks an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase that normally breaks down a chemical messenger called acetylcholine in your body.

• Increased acetylcholine levels: By preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, this medicine increases its concentration at nerve endings and muscle junctions.

• Enhanced neuromuscular transmission: The higher levels of acetylcholine improve the communication between nerves and muscles, helping to strengthen muscle contractions.

• Parasympathetic stimulation: Neostigmine enhances the activity of your parasympathetic nervous system, which helps stimulate contractions in smooth muscles of your digestive tract and urinary system.

• Store Myostigmin 0.5 MG Injection 1 ML at room temperature between 20°C to 25°C.

• Keep the injection protected from light and moisture.

• Do not freeze the medicine.

• Store all medicines out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and discard if expired.

• If you have a condition causing muscle weakness, eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to maintain energy levels when muscle fatigue is more pronounced.

• Plan your most important activities for times when your muscle strength is typically at its best, usually shortly after administering your Myostigmin 0.5 MG Injection 1 ML.
