Hey everyone!
Today's topic is about drugs that are contraindicated in myasthenia.
Can you guess them all?
Drug a. Myasthenic woman with eclampsia develops ptosis
Drug b. Patient with hepatitis C develops respiratory depression
Drug c. Filmstar drug
Drug d. Wilson's disease
Answers:
a. MgSO4
b. Interferon
c. Botox
d. Penicillamine
Random fact:
The actor, Amitabh Bachchan has interferon induced myasthenia gravis which was used to cure his hepatitis C infection. And because of that he can't use botox.. Hence, his skin looks so wrinkled compared to other film stars of his age. Hence, two important drugs causing myasthenia and who worsen it are interferon and botox.
Wow! I never knew that! Awesome
