I was prescribed pilocarpine- 2 to 3 tablets daily-for extreme dry mouth. It worked very well, stimulating my salivary glands so I no longer had to sip water frequently. I occasionally produced SO much saliva that I began drooling.
Very soon, however, since I also (still!) suffer from hot flashes at age 69, the pilocarpine made me have UNBEARABLE night sweats and even day sweats to the point of having to completely change clothes several times a day or night.
Cutting the dosage to 1 didn’t help, so I had to stop using that and just use Xylimelts, other losenges, dry mouth sprays…, and drink lots of water again.
