Cevimeline

Cevimeline is a medication used to treat dry mouth, especially in people with a condition called Sjögren's syndrome, which affects moisture production in the body. It works by stimulating certain nerves that activate glands responsible for saliva and tear production. By doing so, cevimeline helps increase saliva flow, alleviating discomfort from dry mouth, making it easier to speak, chew, and swallow. It is typically taken orally and is prescribed by a doctor for specific conditions. While effective, it may have side effects like sweating, nausea, or gastrointestinal issues.
