Helen,
There have been discussions of Salagen use on the board before. It can make you prespire rather badly if you take too much. It comes in various doses and you can take 3 to 6 tablets a day. I took it for about 3 years. If taken in an environment with very high humidity and heat, persperation can be unbearable. Takes a while to see what dosage is correct for you.

Another question of ask your doctor is whether they removed any of your salivary glands. This will affect how well it works.

Take care,
Eileen
