Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugs.com/pro/neostigmine-methylsulfate-injection.html

Neostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants such as gallamine and tubocurarine. Neostigmine, unlike physostigmine, does not cross the blood-brain barrier. By inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, more acetylcholine is available in the synapse, therefore, more of it can bind to the fewer receptors present in myasthenia gravis and can better trigger muscular contraction. Neostigmine is used for the symptomatic treatment of myasthenia gravis by improving muscle tone.
