Administering cholinesterase inhibitors, like edrofonium or neostigmine (Warrell,
1995; Hodgson and Davidson, 1996), effective in cases of postsynaptic neurotoxin
effects and as recommended by some authors, was not applied because it was not
indicated under the action of neurotoxins that increase acetylcholine supply on
neuromuscular junctions, i.e. DTX, fasciculins, with the potential consequence of
intensifying the effects of these.
