About Tilstigmin Tablet 10's

Tilstigmin Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medicines called 'anticholinesterase agents/acetylcholinesterase inhibitors,' primarily used to treat myasthenia gravis. Tilstigmin Tablet 10's is also used when the normal movements of the intestine are absent and to treat post-operative urinary retention.

Tilstigmin Tablet 10's contains 'Neostigmine.' It increases levels of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine by stopping the excess cholinesterase activity (an enzyme required to break down acetylcholine) involved in communication between nerve impulses and muscle movements. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit the message from one nerve cell to another nerve cell, muscle cell, or gland cell. Thus Tilstigmin Tablet 10's helps in proper muscle functioning and prevents muscle weakness.

Take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, increased saliva production, dizziness, headache, trouble sleeping, and dry mouth. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor before using Tilstigmin Tablet 10's if you have a history of liver, heart or kidney diseases, asthma, stomach ulcer, fits, Parkinson’s disease, overactive thyroid, and irritability of the vagus nerve (connects to the abdomen from the brain) that causes excess bowel contractions. Before starting this medicine, you must let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or a breastfeeding mother. Avoid consuming alcohol during the course to prevent unwanted side effects. Tilstigmin Tablet 10's can be given to children if prescribed by the doctor; the dose depends on the child’s age and weight.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Myasthenia gravis: It is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes skeletal muscle weakness. The immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues, damaging the neuromuscular membrane. This reduces the effect of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a major role in the communication between nerve cells and muscles. Myasthenia gravis occurs when the communication between nerve cells and muscles becomes impaired. This prevents muscle contractions, thereby leading to muscle weakness. The most affected muscles are those of the face and eyes. Symptoms of myasthenia gravis include double vision, drooping eyelids, difficulty chewing or swallowing, weakness, problems with lifting objects, and trouble talking and walking.
