Key Takeaways
1. Symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis: The condition disrupts the connection between muscles and nerves, leading to symptoms such as muscle weakness, drooping eyelids, double vision, difficulty swallowing, and limb weakness.
2. Common Treatment - Prednisone: Prednisone, an immunosuppressant, is commonly used to treat myasthenia gravis but comes with side effects like weight gain, muscle loss, insomnia, mood changes, and osteoporosis.
3. Other Treatment Options: Besides prednisone, treatments include Persig (which enhances acetylcholine signaling), immunosuppressants like azathioprine and methotrexate, and newer, costly treatments like complement inhibitors and FCRN inhibitors. Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody, is also an option.
4. Medication Caution: Certain medications, such as antibiotics and beta blockers, can worsen myasthenia gravis. Magnesium-containing products, especially when given intravenously, can trigger a myasthenic crisis. It is essential to consult a doctor before taking any new medications or supplements.
5. Managing Prednisone Side Effects: A prednisone checklist by Dr. Megan, a prednisone pharmacist, is available to help manage the side effects of prednisone.
