Having scoured lots of web sites I found only one reference to apomorphine causing excessive catarrh. In response I have been prescribed an incontinence drug which sometimes has a side effect of 'drying you up'. So - I have to be aware that this can aggravate constipation and dehydration. SO I am taking one drug hoping that it's side effects target the side effects of another bearing in mind that it,too, may cause unwanted side effects !
