About Antimyasthenic Agents.

Antimyasthenic agents are a therapeutic class of medications primarily composed of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as pyridostigmine and neostigmine, used for the symptomatic treatment of myasthenia gravis and related neuromuscular junction disorders.

They exert their therapeutic effect by reversibly inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which slows the enzymatic breakdown of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft.

This prolongation and accumulation of acetylcholine enhances transmission across compromised neuromuscular junctions, thereby improving skeletal muscle strength and mitigating exertional fatigue.
