- Macrolides (e.g., erythromycin, azithromycin)

Better Choice:
- Penicillins (e.g., amoxicillin) are generally considered safer for people with myasthenia gravis.

Over-the-Counter Cold Medications:
- Be cautious with over-the-counter cold medications, especially those containing antihistamines or decongestants, as they can exacerbate myasthenia gravis symptoms. Always consult your healthcare provider before taking any new medication.

For more detailed information, always consult your healthcare provider.
