title: [Myasthenia gravis and drugs].
abstract: Several drugs are known to aggravate myasthenia gravis or to induce myasthenia like syndromes. Drugs which interfere with neuro-muscular transmission act either through a direct effect at the neuro-muscular junction or as with D. Penicillamine through an immunological action. For some drugs, the information available indicate their harmfulness in myasthenia gravis, so they are contraindicated. For others, the clinical effect is not so well established, nevertheless if necessary they can be used with caution.
