until lately i have been very pleased, until i could not buy Generic form name PILOCATPINE. The name brand SALAGEN cost $80.00 at WalMart. I have tryed to find Generic form at Publix, and a number of different stores no luck. I heard the company that makes SALAGEN bought the rights to company that made GENERIC brand.
I only started taking this drug four days ago, all I can say is WOW! For years I've had Sjorgren's and had the driest mouth, so dry I had trouble talking, swallowing. With the first dose my mouth watered so much, I panicked a little, not knowing what was going on. I'd been told it would take several days or even weeks to notice a change. For the first time in years I could whistle! I believe that it has even improved my dry eye symptoms. The dose I'm taking is low and so far I'm at a once daily dose, I'm wondering what will happen when I have to increase the dose!
I have Sojgren's Syndrome. I find this works best if taken while eating or immediately after. I take it at least an hour before bedtime but sometimes have extreme night sweats from the pilocarpine. Some daytime sweating after taking it occurs occasionally. I can tell a big difference in my saliva production.
I dont know yet if the pain from the drops is worth the results of my pupil decreasing in size. I've only been on the drops for 1 day but the pupil has gone back down to normal size. I don't know if it will remain that way once the drops are stopped.
