Neostigmine (Prostigmin), a anticholinesterase, orally to the client diagnosed with myasthenia gravis. 

P. is used in opthalmic practice in the same way as pilocarpine, for pupil contraction and for the reduction of intraocular pressure. It is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, a property shared by certain other basic urethanes, such as neostigmine (prostigmine) these urethanes presumably acylate, and therefore block, the enzyme. P. and neostigmine have been used in surgery to counteract the action of curare, and both have been used for the relief of Myasthenia gravis, a disease characterized by muscular weakness associated with a rapid breakdown of acetylcholine. These have now been largely replaced by other synthetic compounds.
