a. Edrophonium (Tensilon®)

b. Radiopharmaceuticals

c. Insulin

a. Edrophonium (Tensilon®)

Myasthenia gravis- based on the improvement or deterioration in the muscle strength when the drug is given

Myasthenic crisis- insufficient dose of the drug we are given.

Cholinergic crisis- excess

[Diagnostic agents]

Mx of Pernicious Anemia (B12 deficiency)

a. Cyanocobalamin

b. Insulin

a. Cyanocobalamin

Disease characterized by the presence of auto antibodies that is directed against their own cells, these antibodies destroy an important cell which is responsible for producing a substance for Vitamin B12 absorption in the Ilium.

a. Pernicious Anemia

b. Megaloblastic Anemia

c. Aplastic Anemia

a. Pernicious Anemia

Cyanocobalamin is given via __ route
