Has anyone used the oral medication for dry mouth (Sjogren's)?

Posted by harryboy7 @harryboy7, Feb 19 9:54am

I have Sjogrens and autoimmune issues. My mouth is getting more dry than ever. Night time is the WORSE. I have tried everything in the book. I know there is a medication that can help when all else fails.
I am wondering if anyone has tried it, and if so what did they think. Thanks

I have more dry eye issues and joint pain issues. I use Systane eye drops and they work really well. Celebrex seems to work for joint pain for awhile then it doesn't. Does anyone use anything other than celebrex?

Some years ago I developed dry mouth/ eyes as part of another GI autoimmune illness.
I used all the Biotene products. The melts at night, spray at night if awake plus water at bedside. I had a couple of prescriptions too, but not pilocarpin.
The worst side effect of my dry mouth was my upper front teeth becoming see through.
I was able to get caps for them.
After immunosuppressive therapy, my dry mouth disappeared.
