You might ask your ENT about Evoxac (a newer drug with same function as Salagen). Our ENT -- who had radiation theray herself for head and neck cancer a number of years ago, and was left with significant dry mouth problems -- says she finds it personally far superior to Salagen and is prescribing it for her patients with xerostomia.
