Mestinon is not an immunosuppressant it is an anticholinesterase inhibitor that slows the breakdown of acetylcholine in the space between nerves and muscles. This helps improve muscle strength by making the signal between nerves and muscles stronger. Mestinon does not affect your immune system, but it is used for autoimmune conditions, such as myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disease. It may be also be used off-label to treat postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
