  1. Pyridostigmine is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor?
  2. Amifampridine blocks potassium channel efflux in nerve terminals which increases duration of the action potential?
  3. Aminoglycoside antibiotics can aggravate myasthenia gravis (MG) ?
  4. Patients with MG show decreased susceptibility to depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents ?
  5. Patients with MG show increased susceptibility to non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents?
  6. Patients with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome show decreased susceptibility to both depolarizing and non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers?
