Edrophonium is a short-acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used primarily for the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis and in the evaluation of treatment response in similar neuromuscular disorders. Its rapid onset and short duration of action make it useful in diagnostic settings. It is not approved for chronic therapy and is largely of historical interest, as longer acting drugs are now preferred.
