Safely Buy Evoxac (Cevimeline Hcl) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Description

Evoxac Uses 

Cevimeline hydrochloride is the generic version of this medication; it is a cholinergic agonist that binds muscarinic receptors and increases the secretion of exocrine glands like saliva and sweat. This medication is used in relieving dry mouth symptoms of an auto-immune disease called Sjogren’s syndrome. In this condition, the immune system mistakenly attacks its tissues and cells, which affects the mucous membrane and moisture-secreting gland leading to decreased tears and saliva. 

Evoxac for dry mouth – Dry mouth is caused by decreased saliva that causes difficulty in speaking, tasting food, and swallowing, leading to an increased risk of tooth decay. This medication stimulates saliva secretion to relieve these symptoms and prevent tooth decay. Frequent drinking of water may also help reduce dry mouth. 

Evoxac for dry eyes – Decreased aqueous tears cause dry eyes, which cause itchiness, excessive blinking, feeling like sand inside the eyes, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. The use of this medication may improve dry eyes, although this condition is not yet approved to be treated with this medicine. Some clinical studies found that this medication at 20mg 3 times a day is safe and effective, but further study is needed.

Evoxac vs Salagen 

Both medicines are used to relieve symptoms of dry mouth in Sjogren syndrome, they stimulate saliva production, and both help reduces dry eyes due to increased tears.

Both medications are cholinergic agonists and share the same side effects. Both are pretty expensive with less costly generic forms, but Evoxac is still more pricey than Salagen.
