Answer #1

The question is Incomplete so the answer might not be specific, It is a general monitoring parameter for oral pyridostigmine

Adequate facilities should be available for cardiopulmonary resuscitation when testing and adjusting the dose of oral pyridostigmine for myasthenia gravis.

In such case look for : Signs of overdosage such as abdominal cramps, increased peristalsis, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, increased bronchial secretions, salivation, hyperhydrosis and miosis. Nicotinic effects consist of muscular cramps, fasciculations and general weakness up to paralysis.

Monitor ECG, Heart rate and blood pressure regularly.
