Anybody know whether a patient should stop taking Salagen before a PET scan? My husband is due for PET next Tuesday and I can't get any of his providers on the phone right now to ask this question. Seems that since pilocarpine "stimulates" the salivary glands, it might not be a good thing to take before the scan. Any thoughts out there? Thanks!
