Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | I took Salagen althrough rad and for about two years after. Only minor sweating problems for a little while after taking pill. Stopped it after I had major swaeting episode on a 100 degree day with 110% humidity. I also took Guiafenex (sp) pills from second week of radiation and for several weeks after until phlegm got down to a manageable level. I had no peg and these ar ebig pills but seemed to work better than nothing.
Hope that helps. Eileen
