Is There Anything I Can Do About The Extra Secretions From Being On Mestiton?
I have copd for 6 years and was just diagnosed with MG I have a lot of mucus , more than usual I stick to natural things like honey in my hot tea it helps thin the mucus and I drink pineapple juice ( no sugar added ) both of these helps me a lot❤
Mestinon (pyridostigmine) can cause increased salivation as a side effect. Here are a few tips that might help manage this:
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water can help dilute the secretions
- Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing and using mouthwash can help manage excess saliva.
- Consult Your Doctor: They might adjust your dosage read more

Talking to your doctor is probably the best advice, but I'm happy to share from personal experience and hope it helps. Benadryl is an allergy med that's usually safe for everyone, and has a drying effect. It causes drowsiness so I take it at bedtime and only occassionally during the day.
A few months ago my primary care doctor prescribed Ipratropium, a prescription nasal spray, to help during an especially difficult allergy season. It's made SO much difference with the extra secretions from MG! I can't recommend strongly enough that you ask your doctor about it. Not a miracle cure, but it's made a huge difference for me!
All the best to you!
