  2. Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) for Myasthenia Gravis

  3. Cladribine (Mavenclad) for MS

  4. Aminoglycosides for worsening Myasthenia Gravis

The correct answer is: 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). D. Aminoglycosides are not used for the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis. In fact, aminoglycosides can worsen Myasthenia Gravis by blocking neuromuscular transmission.
