How does neostigmine exert its therapeutic effect in managing Myasthenia gravis?

Show Answers

It stimulates the production of additional acetylcholineIt blocks the activity of cholinesterase enzymesIt promotes the generation of more acetylcholine receptorsIt enhances the function of cholinesteraseIt increases the release of acetylcholine from nerve endings

Explanation

Neostigmine works by inhibiting cholinesterase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down acetylcholine. This inhibition leads to increased acetylcholine availability at the neuromuscular junction, improving muscle strength in Myasthenia gravis patients.
