Treatment 1: the application of anti cholinesterase drugs do not use the first phase of dosing, from the minimum dose of 30-60mg / time, 2-3 times / day, maintain the dosage for more than a week, according to whether the symptoms improve or not, and then gradually increase the dosage, when the symptoms begin to improve, maintain the dosage.

Treatment 2: after remission, the dosage gradually decreases: when the dosage reaches a certain degree and the symptoms are relieved, maintain the dosage for one week, then decrease by 1 / 3, maintain for 1-2 months, if the symptoms do not worsen, decrease by 1 / 3 again, and seek the minimum effective dosage within this range. If the dosage reaches 240 mg / day, the symptoms can not be effectively improved, the combination of immunosuppressants should be considered.
