Dry mouth on Lu177

Please advise remedies tips solutions for dry mouth

We can't find any solution for dry mouth. My husband met with an ENT and they put him on Cevimeline HCl 30 MG CAPS

Commonly known as: Evoxac -

He's only been on this drug for a couple weeks. I am hoping by the end of this month he will have some relief. The dry mouth was caused by a clinical trial with Keytruda and Tablostadt.

Okay

Was it caused by a PSMA-targeted drug? If so, read this:

Thank you

My understanding is that that dry mouth caused by Lu 177 PSMA treatment will eventually resolve or improve.

There are several treatments for dry mouth:

How many cycles of Lu177 have you had?I just had #5 and no dry mouth so far.

My dad Had just two and he’s complaining so much he’s complaining whatever saliva is making is thick and foggy

I had such severe dry mouth, I couldn't even swallow. I found XyliMelts worked for me. Unusual, in that it sticks to your gum, and slowly dissolves, but for me, worked wonders. Two months since my last Lu177, and I only need it once a week or so, now. But do keep it on hand.
