Brief Answer: right treatment Detailed Answer: Hi, I am Dr Alok, pleased to answer your health related queries. Pyridostigmine, steroids, steroid sparing drugs like mycophenolate, azathioprine etc are the mainstay of the treatment for M gravis. dose and choice of drug depends only on your physician and disease activity. If you stop medication, without proper advise, it may flare up and then you need to start treatment with high dose. Regards
