  3. Did anyone get diarrhea from Pyridostigmine?

    1. Hi have you had an opportunity to speak with your physician about what you are experiencing? If you haven't already done so, we always recommend reaching out to one's doctor with new or developing symptoms. In the meantime, I shared an article that speaks on some of the potential side effects including diarrhea - https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/starting-mestinon-expectations.
