Dostimine 60 mg Tablet 10's is used to treat myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness). Besides this, Dostimine 60 mg Tablet 10's also treats paralytic ileus (a rare form of constipation), postoperative urinary retention, and prophylaxis against military exposure to any nerve poisoning gas. Myasthenia gravis is a long-term neuromuscular disease that leads to musculoskeletal weakness caused by excess activity of a protein (cholinesterase protein).

Dostimine 60 mg Tablet 10's contains Pyridostigmine, which works by stopping the excessive cholinesterase activity (an enzyme required for the breakdown of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine) involved in communication between nerve impulses and muscle movements.

In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, sweating, cough with mucus, rash, muscle cramps, and blurred vision. Most of these side effects will resolve gradually over time. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
