What are Saligren capsules 30 mg for dry mouth (Sjogren's syndrome, cevimeline, Evoxac)?


Saligren capsules contain 30 mg of cevimeline hydrochloride hydrate, a potent parasympathomimetic and muscarinic agonist. This active compound exerts its therapeutic effects by specifically targeting the M1 and M3 receptors of the parasympathetic nervous system, which are abundantly present in the salivary glands and smooth muscle cells. By binding to these receptors, the drug triggers a cascade of intracellular events, leading to increased secretion of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for various parasympathetic functions, including salivation.

The mechanism of action of cevimeline hydrochloride is pivotal in treating conditions characterized by oral dryness, such as Sjogren's syndrome. This autoimmune disorder affects the exocrine glands, leading to reduced salivary flow and oral discomfort. Saligren capsules, through their activation of M1 and M3 receptors, stimulate the secretion of the salivary glands, thereby promoting the production of saliva. This increase in saliva production helps alleviate the dryness in the oral cavity and provides symptomatic relief to patients suffering from Sjogren's syndrome.

Clinical studies have substantiated the effectiveness of Saligren capsules in managing oral dryness caused by Sjogren's syndrome. Over a span of 52 weeks, patients who received the 30 mg cevimeline hydrochloride capsules demonstrated a significant improvement in salivary flow rates, which directly correlated with reduced oral dryness. Furthermore, these studies revealed that patients experienced substantial relief from subjective symptoms such as dry mouth, difficulty in swallowing, and a parched feeling.

Additionally, cevimeline hydrochloride has shown promising results in treating dry mouth associated with psychosomatic oral disease. The drug's ability to enhance salivary secretion makes it an effective therapeutic option for patients dealing with oral dryness related to psychological factors.
