All Rx have failed d/t bottoming out my B/P in smalles of doses! Decline is severe at this point. Just prescribed this RX and want to KNOW IF IT ALTERS/LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE! One site I researched stated MD should know if pt suffers from hypotention! HELLLLOO! This was the LAST rx not TRIED! After a 6 month wait being sent to a 'RESEACH CENTER'!! Any knowledge of pt's taking this RX and effects on B/P would be greatly appreciated. PPS (Paradoxical Parasympathetic Syndrome) is extremely RARE!! And my Cardiologist is excellent (genius) Exhausted every measure. Thanking anyone In Advance for any knowledge of this Rx! Sincerely, YaYaMermaid! Bless You All
Hi YaYaMermaid, I haven't heard of this drug, so looked it up. Is it only available in the US?
Have you looked at the Drugs dot com website? It gives you a lot of information there, it also has an interactions checker and a forum where you can ask questions.
Good luck.

Having done a little more digging, this page tells you about the drug. It is called Pyridostigmine in the UK.
Thank you so much 'mrsmop' for your efforts and time. I know what the medicine is, was just looking for any one who had been on it or tried this Rx. I was wanting to know if it LOWERED THEIR Blood Pressure at all. I was wanting to know before trying the Rx. I have researched this and it states.. not for patients with 'low blood pressure', along with many other conditions. It took me some time to locate the information but I did find some. Thank you so much for your replys as well as your time and effort on my behalf. I do not have the condition it is prescribed for! Mine is a very RARE condition called 'PARDOXICAL PARASYMPATHETIC SYNDROME' (PPS). Mr Dr. exhausted all measures over the last several years and I was finally sent to Vanderbilt Research Center for testitng. This is where I got the Rx from. Again, much gratitude for you and your time. Bless You!
