I've been struggling with severe dry mouth due to Sjögren's syndrome and my doctor prescribed Salagen 7.5mg tablets. This medication is used to stimulate saliva production, which is great in theory, but I'm a bit nervous about the possible side effects. I've read that some people experience severe reactions like allergic symptoms, blood pressure changes, and even abdominal pain. Has anyone else tried this medication? What were your experiences? Any tips for managing the side effects would be greatly appreciated! Also, should I be concerned about the long-term usage of this medication? What is your take on it?

I've been struggling with chronic dry mouth for a while now, and my doctor prescribed Mouthkote Solution. It's an artificial saliva that's supposed to help with moistening and lubricating the mouth, making it more comfortable to speak, eat, and swallow. I've seen the list of side effects, which can be a little scary—especially the urgent side effects like allergic reactions and changes in speech. Has anyone else used this? Did you experience any side effects? How did it work for you?
