Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles. MG is treated with a variety of drugs, including anticholinesterase drugs, immunosuppressants, and immunomodulators. Anticholinesterase drugs, such as pyridostigmine, are used to increase the availability of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, thereby improving muscle strength. Immunosuppressants, such as azathioprine and cyclosporine, are used to reduce the production of antibodies that attack the neuromuscular junction. Immunomodulators, such as mycophenolate mofetil, are used to modulate the immune system and reduce the production of antibodies. The Myasthenia Gravis Drug market is a subset of the Central Nervous System Drugs market.
