Salagen

Acetylcholine causes the salivary glands to make saliva and the lacrimal glands in the eye to make tears to lubricate the eyes. By mimicking acetylcholine, pilocarpine stimulates the production of saliva and tears, which can help to relieve the symptoms of dry mouth and eyes. It can take two to three months of treatment with this medicine before dry mouth or eye symptoms are improved. The medicine should be stopped if there is no improvement after this time.
