Neostigmine bromide nasal spray
Does anyone else have experience with neostigmine bromide nasal spray? It is made in the pharmacy according to a specific recipe. I use it almost every day. The medication is absorbed through the mucous membranes and takes effect within a few minutes. However, the duration of the effect is very limited (10 to 60 minutes).
It helps me a lot with my swallowing problems and I can therefore take the other medication without any problems. It is also a helpful companion before meals or meetings because of its rapid effect.

What is DMSO??

Not sure why you would use DMSO, as it is typically used on the Skin, to carry another medication or agent into the body.
Or, is there possibly some other use for DMSO, that I might be missing?

This sounds like an interesting way to get a quick pick me up, should the need arise.
Thank you for sharing the information.
I will have to chat with my Neurologist and see what their thought is on this kind of treatment.
