Salagen vs. Evoxac

Anyone have any experience with Salagen?  My doc rx'd it today for Sjogren's.  I've only seen Evoxac discussed here so I'm wondering what the difference in the two are.  I looked online and they basically say the same thing with the same side effects.  Anyone have any input on either of these?

I was not aware a second med existed since when I was put on evoxac it was the only one on the market of its kind.

I wasn't either redrose. I should have asked him, but of course I didn't think about it until I left.

I think there are some people here who have used Salogen, so hopefully they can tell you how it worked for them. For me, the Evoxac works great. I ran out for a few days and it was torture to have that severe dry mouth again that no amount of water or liquid could help. I don't want to be without it again. Like I said on another post, I get a little hot flash a little while after I take it, but it goes away.

I miss evoxac too. But it is a no-no in pregnancy. I really wish I could take it cause the back of my mouth and upper part of my throat swell a lot when they get too dry- which is about 2 hours after my last guzzle of fluids.
