Which treatment is specifically used for Myasthenia Gravis?

Bleomycin for drug-induced Raynaud's

Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) for Myasthenia Gravis

Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) is the correct answer for the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis. Pyridostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, improving muscle strength and function in patients with Myasthenia Gravis.

A. Bleomycin is not used for the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis. It is used for drug-induced Raynaud's phenomenon.

C. Cladribine is not used for the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis. It is used for multiple sclerosis (MS).
