Prevention

There are no known ways to prevent MG. The following steps may improve muscle functioning in people who already have the condition:

  • Avoid medications that may worsen MG, such as:
    • Beta-blockers
    • Aminoglycoside antibiotics
    • Quinolone antibiotics
    • Class I medications used for abnormal heart rhythms
  • Treat any infections promptly.
  • If you have trouble swallowing, please notify your doctor immediately. You may wish to consult a dietitian to help you construct a healthy diet that is easier to swallow.
  • If you have trouble speaking, you may wish to consult a speech therapist.
