Pilocarpine is a medication primarily used to treat dry mouth caused by Sjögren’s syndrome, radiation therapy for head and neck cancer, and certain medications. It belongs to a class of drugs known as cholinergic agonists, which work by stimulating the secretion of saliva.
Pilocarpine is available in various formulations, including oral tablets, oral solution, and oral gel. It may also be available as an ophthalmic solution used to treat glaucoma.
When used for dry mouth, pilocarpine is typically taken orally, usually multiple times a day. The dosage may vary depending on the individual’s condition and response to treatment.
