What is the most important information I should know about Prostigmin Bromide (Neostigmine)?
Do not use neostigmine if you have a serious stomach condition called peritonitis, or if you have a bladder or bowel obstruction. Before using neostigmine, tell your doctor if you have asthma, epilepsy or other seizure disorder, a heart rhythm disorder, circulation or blood vessel problems, an overactive thyroid, or a stomach ulcer. The amount and timing of this medicine is extremely important to the success of your treatment. Carefully follow your doctor’s instructions about how much medicine to take and when to take it. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication. You may be asked to keep a daily record of when you took each dose and how long the effects lasted. This will help your doctor determine if your dose needs to be adjusted. If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are taking neostigmine. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
