Do you know of evoxac is likely in the near future? I have tried everything. I'm thinking that if it is as good as it would seem I should try to get it in.

adleybra - I have just recently found out that Pilocarpine is available in Australia. It is the main ingredient in Salagen & apparently stimulates saliva flow just like Evoxac. Script needs to be made up at a compounding pharmacy. It's not on the PBS so it's not real cheap. Hope this helps.
