Control Drooling with Sal-TropineTM Tablets
Low dose atropine reduces salivation.
Prevent hygiene problems and remove social barriers for those concerned about drooling and/or excess saliva.
Each dose of SAL-TROPINE (atropine sulfate, USP tablets) reduces salivation for 4 to 6 hours.
Why should you consider SAL-TROPINE as a treatment for drooling?
Researchers concluded that atropine is "unequivocally beneficial". Treatment reduced saliva secretion/excess salivation and accumulation by more than 50%. Side effects were "negligible" because therapy was started with low doses and increased as necessary. (1)
The goal for taking SAL-TROPINEis not to eliminate excess salivation, but to reduce it so that patients can swallow residual saliva with ease.
SAL-TROPINE is specifically indicated to reduce salivation and/or excessive drooling.
SAL-TROPINE is labeled for dosing in adults, children, and infants (weighing from 7 pounds). Each dose provides 4 to 6 hours of relief. Doses should be adjusted according to weight and need. Dosing guidelines are provided in the prescribing information and may be exceeded in certain cases, as with large patients or heavy salivators.
SAL-TROPINE is available by prescription through pharmacies nationwide.
