Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | I took Salagen (Pilocarpine) during radiation and for a few years afterwards. I took 5mg 3x's a day and had only mild perspiration for about 5 minutes approimately 30 minutes after I took it. I have a fair amount of saliva and can eat most things. If it gets extremely humid or you find you are sweating profusely, you may want to cut the doage back. Give it a try and I hope it helps you.
Take care,
Eileen
