My insurance Co.Called this morning and have approved the Evoxac for producing saliva I have been taking Salagen for 3 mounts and it has not helped. I hope this does. I know Hondo said he had tried both but neither helped him has anyone else took Evoxac with any luck it is a new drug if anyone else has any information let me know the dry mouth and no saliva is just about unbearable.
Thanks Robert

    Robert,

    Happy to hear answered prayers. Let us know if it works. Jim has been looking for something to rid the dry mouth as well.

    Dry mouth is extremely
    Dry mouth is extremely frustrating. I cough, gag and carry on constantly, with the use of biotene. I wish the pills worked for me.

    I hope the work for you. Good for you with fighting to get it approved.

    Hi Robert

    I am glad you got it approved, just because it did not work on me does not mean it will not work on you. Remember our bodies are all different and I am praying it will give you all the help needed to restore your lost saliva.

    Give it a month or two as it takes time to get well into your system.

    EVOXAC
    My Rad Doc. prescribed me Evoxac shortly after my treatment ended. he said if i did not notice any change after the first 7 days to get rid of it. Unfortunately for me it did not help.

    I am almost one year post TX and the saliva has only improved just a little.

    I am just getting used to having dry mouth.

    Good luck

    Mike
