Medications and therapies that may be used to treat Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome include: 3,4-diaminopyridine (enhances acetylcholine release), anticholinesterase agents (e.g., Pyridostigmine), plasma exchange (where blood plasma is removed and replaced with fluid, protein, or donated plasma), intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), and medications that suppress the immune system (e.g., prednisone, azathioprine).
