Pyridostigmine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. By inhibiting the enzyme that
pyridostigmine for management of
breaks down acetylcholine, it increases cholinergic activity. The increased

cholinergic activity is responsible for the most common adverse effects of
problems are adverse effects of
pyridostigmine such as diarrhea and increased urinary frequency. Another
pyridostigmine? Select all that apply.
