How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Neostigmine). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Neostigmine methylsulfate is a competitive cholinesterase inhibitor.
By reducing the breakdown of acetylcholine, neostigmine methylsulfate induces an increase in acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft which competes for the same binding site as nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, and reverses the neuromuscular blockade.
Neostigmine methylsulfate is metabolized by microsomal enzymes in the liver.
