Side effects of Mestinon

I have a colostomy. Mestinon causes me to have bloating, pressure and abdominal pain. I am concerned about continuing to use
Mestinon.
My doctor doesn’t seem to have any other options for me. Does anyone else have this problem with Mestinon?

  1. I apologize for the late reply! You are definitely not alone in your experience. Unfortunately, many others have also had stomach problems while taking the medication. One of our advocates shared their tips for managing these symptoms that I hope you’ll find helpful https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/mestinon-side-effects-relief.
