AbstractIn a 66-year-old man with autonomic failure, pyridostigmine (180 mg/day orally) improved both postural hypotension and underactive detrusor bladder dysfunction. Acetylcholinesterase inhibition may be useful in the management of orthostatic hypotension and bladder dysfunction in autonomic failure patients.
