Cevimeline Hydrochloride
The hydrochloride salt formulation of cevimeline provides the same muscarinic agonist activity as the parent compound, used for xerostomia in Sjögren's syndrome. It should be used cautiously in patients with asthma, narrow-angle glaucoma, or cardiovascular disease, as cholinergic stimulation may worsen these conditions. Adequate fluid intake is recommended to maximize its salivary stimulant benefit.
