Pyridostigmine and Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Pyridostigmine , classified as a type of parasympathomimetic (acetylcholinesterase inhibitor,), is used to treat muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis or forms of congenital myasthenic syndrome and to combat the effects of curariform drug toxicity.
