summary

The child was diagnosed with congenital heart disease (patent ductus arteriosus, about 3 mm) when he was eight months old. At that time, the doctor suggested that the child should be reexamined every year. Now the child is almost six years old, and has recently suffered from ocular myasthenia gravis. After treatment, it has improved, so what medicine can be used for myasthenia gravis? Now let's take a look at it!

What medicine can myasthenia gravis use

Treatment 1: early use of anticholinesterase drugs can relieve symptoms in patients with myasthenia gravis. If the effect of such drugs alone is not good, glucocorticoid or methylprednisolone can be combined. According to literature reports, early use of glucocorticoid may prevent the transformation from ocular myasthenia gravis to systemic myasthenia gravis, but exact evidence is still needed.

Treatment 2: systemic myasthenia gravis patients treated with anti cholinesterase drugs alone often can not achieve the therapeutic effect, glucocorticoid should be added or combined with azathioprine, cyclosporine A and other immunosuppressants. Severe cases need high-dose methylprednisolone impact. If the symptoms can not be improved after methylprednisolone impact, consider high-dose gamma globulin impact.

Treatment 3: some patients with generalized myasthenia gravis may have transient aggravation in the process of high-dose methylprednisolone impact. In severe cases, they even need tracheal intubation or tracheotomy, and the change of condition should be closely observed.
