"A double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effect of orally administered pilocarpine on unstimulated whole-saliva flow and composition in 28 patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD)."7.74Effect of pilocarpine hydrochloride on unstimulated whole saliva flow rate and composition in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). ( Agha-Hosseini, F; Ghavamzadeh, A; Ghavamzadeh, L; Mirzaii-Dizgah, I; Tohidast-Acrad, Z, 2007)
" Oral pilocarpine (Salagen(R)), 30 mg/day, can ameliorate cGVHD-induced xerostomia and improve the flow rate from the major salivary glands."7.71The effect of pilocarpine on salivary constituents in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease. ( Nagler, A; Nagler, RM, 2001)
"As pilocarpine hydrochloride has been shown to relieve xerostomia in other disease categories, we administered pilocarpine hydrochloride 30 mg/day to six cGVHD patients and measured their whole saliva, parotid and submandibular-sublingual flow rates in both resting and stimulated conditions."5.30Pilocarpine hydrochloride relieves xerostomia in chronic graft-versus-host disease: a sialometrical study.
