Edrophonium: A rapid-onset, short-acting cholinesterase inhibitor used in cardiac arrhythmias and in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. It has also been used as an antidote to curare principles.
edrophonium : A quaternary ammonium ion that is N-ethyl-N,N-dimethylanilinium in which one of the meta positions is substituted by a hydroxy group. It is a reversible inhibitor of cholinesterase, with a rapid onset (30-60 seconds after injection) but a short duration of action (5-15 minutes). The chloride salt is used in myasthenia gravis both diagnostically and to distinguish between under- or over-treatment with other anticholinesterases. It has also been used for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade in anaesthesia, and for the management of poisoning due to tetrodotoxin, a neuromuscular blocking toxin found in puffer fish and other marine animals.

| "Because the Lancaster red-green test and the Hess screen are not widely used by most ophthalmologists, we used the alternate prism-cover test to study the effect of intravenous edrophonium chloride (Tensilon) on the ocular alignment of 30 normal subjects and 14 individuals with nonmyasthenic strabismus." | 7.69 | The effect of edrophonium chloride on muscle balance in normal subjects and those with nonmyasthenic strabismus. ( Feuer, WJ; Shah, L; Siatkowski, RM, 1997) |
| "The interpretation of the edrophonium (Tensilon) test in the diagnosis of acquired strabismus caused by myasthenia gravis has been problematic because of poorly defined endpoints and unknown sensitivity and specificity." | 7.68 | The edrophonium-Hess screen test in the diagnosis of ocular myasthenia gravis.

| "A 70-year-old man with known vascular disease, who had bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia, and an 18-month-old girl with a long-term variable esotropia culminating in a postinfectious oculopharyngeal neuropathy both responded with a positive edrophonium chloride (Tensilon) test, strongly suggesting the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis." | 3.66 | Ocular myasthenia gravis mimicking pseudointernuclear ophthalmoplegia and variable esotropia.
