Ray,

I have been taking it since 1 month post treatment and now I am at 13 months post treatment. It seems like I only get dry mouth when I sleep with my mouth open. I started running/jogging back in February at 6 months post treatment, and have been 5 days a week since then. I am not experiencing any dry mouth when I run. I can't say if it is the medicine working, mouth healing, or a combination of both. It just has gotten better. I have not experienced any side effects of overly sweating. I also drink at least 5 bottles of water a day. It is a habit now.

I think pilocarpine is the generic form of salegan.
