I am coming down with a cold. My nose is running non-stop. What over the counter meds are safe and work with gMG?

        Hey! I suggest you consult with your doctor about this question. All individuals with MG can react differently to medications, but your doctor would have the best advice for you.

        This document, https://nebula.wsimg.com/903ebe2c701eb4e72e3211dc9fb9064e?AccessKeyId=7F50FBE19A111D19DDAC&disposition=0&alloworigin=1, published by the Myasthenia Gravis Association is a good resource to have at hand. It does not include many OTC meds, but it is a compilation of cautionary drugs with MG categorized by risk level.
