Indications 

Sialor is an over counter medication used for the treatment of dry mouth or to promote saliva flow in conditions such as xerostomia (dry mouth) associated with Sjögren’s syndrome. It sometimes indicated to alleviate dry mouth symptoms. Additionally, Sialor can be used as a sialogogue, which is a substance that stimulates the production of saliva. 

Sialor belongs to the group of organic compounds called dithiolethiones. It works by increasing the production of saliva by activating potassium channels in the salivary glands. This increase in salivary flow can relieve the symptoms of dry mouth or xerostomia. Additionally, Sialor may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may contribute to its therapeutic effects. 

Use and Dosage 

Sialor is available in tablet form and is typically taken orally. The tablets are typically taken three times a day, with one tablet taken before each meal. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Chewing or crushing the tablets may affect how the medication is absorbed by your body and could affect its effectiveness. 

The dosage and frequency of administration may vary depending on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Follow the instructions provided by the healthcare professional or the medication’s packaging. 

If you accidentally miss a dose of Sialor, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
