[Rasa2006]

Hi,

Has anyone tried Mestinon(pyridostigmin) for releiving disphagia in parkinson?

What were the side effects? Is it safe to use?

Doctor priscribe it for my mother but I am afraid it cause adverse effects on her.

Your response will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Rasa

You might get a better response on the Parkinson's forum.

This is PSP / CBD - Progressive Supra Nuclear Palsy.

But you never know - someone here might have experience of it.

All the best

Dysphasia is such a terrible problem. I'd love to know more about any medication for it! So far the problem has been intermittent for my guy, but I am very concerned about what I will do when it becomes chronic. I hope someone here has some information and will chime in!

I just did a quick search online to see what it is. It doesn't appear to linger long in the body, so perhaps side effects are temporary. How bad is your mother's ability to swallow? We were given a number of Parkinson's medications to try, when my guy was first diagnosed, and none seemed to help at all. We didn't mind that the doctor was basically experimenting, as she was quite clear about side effects and didn't get our hopes up too much.

Good luck, Rasa. I hope you get some help for your mother. Peace, ec
