Neostigmine methylsulfate injection is a cholinesterase inhibitor that is used as an adjunct in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and as an antidote in the treatment of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent toxicity in the operating room or intensive care unit setting. It acts by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which normally breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. By inhibiting this enzyme, neostigmine methylsulfate prolongs the actions of acetylcholine, increasing neuromuscular transmission and muscle strength. It helps in the management of myasthenia gravis symptoms such as weakness of the skeletal muscles of the extremities, trunk, throat, and eyes. In overdose or sensitive patients, it can cause increased stimulation at the neuromuscular junction and produce side effects such as nausea, increased saliva, and muscle cramps.
Market Dynamics:
The increasing geriatric population will continue to fuel the growth of the global neostigmine methylsulfate injection market over the forecast period. The elderly are more susceptible to neurological conditions like myasthenia gravis, which frequently needs to be treated with injections of neostigmine methylsulfate. Rising medical expenditures will also continue to fuel the growth of the global neostigmine methylsulfate injection market over the forecast period. The growth of veterinary medicine will create new opportunities for the global neostigmine methylsulfate injection market over the forecast period. Injections of neostigmine methylsulfate are also employed in veterinary medicine, particularly for the treatment of a few neuromuscular diseases in animals. It may open up new commercial prospects to increase the use and availability of neostigmine methylsulfate injections in the veterinary industry.
Lack of knowledge and diagnosis is expected to hamper the growth of the global neostigmine methylsulfate injection market over the forecast period.
