SALAGEN DESCRIPTION
   
 
Salagen (Pilocarpine) - Tablet
   
 

Salagen is a cholinergic agent used to treat dry mouth. It may also be used to treat dry eyes in patients with Sjogren's syndrome or other conditions as determined by your doctor.

 

Why is Salagen prescribed?

Salagen causes constriction of the pupils (miosis) and reduces pressure within the eye. It is used to treat the increased pressure of open-angle glaucoma and to lower eye pressure before surgery for acute angle-closure glaucoma. Salagen can be used alone or in combination with other medications. Glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States, is characterized by increased pressure in the eye that can damage the optic nerve and cause loss of vision.

Where can I order Salagen from? Can I buy Salagen at Canadian Prices?

Yes, if you are from the U.S. then you can buy Salagen at Canadian prices. Currently we will only accept an order for Salagen from U.S. and Canadian residents. Both U.S. and Canadian residents require a prescription to purchase Salagen and when you order Salagen it will be delivered with express shipping.

Most important fact about Salagen

There is no cure for glaucoma. Salagen and similar drugs can keep ocular pressure under control, but only as long as you take them. You will probably need to continue treatment for life; and you must be sure to take Salagen regularly.

How should you use Salagen?

Follow these steps to administer Salagen:

Wash your hands thoroughly. Gently pull your lower eyelid down to form a pocket next to your eye. Brace the Salagen eyedrop bottle on the bridge of your nose or your forehead. Tilt your head back and squeeze Salagen into your eye. Close your eyes gently. Keep them closed for 1 to 2 minutes. Do not rinse the Salagen dropper.

Wait for 5 to 10 minutes before using a second eye medication.

To avoid contaminating the Salagen dropper and solution, do not touch the eyelids or surrounding areas with the tip of the dropper. Do not use if the Salagen solution is discolored. --If you miss a dose...Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once. --Storage instructions...Store away from heat and light. Do not freeze.

Keep the Salagen bottle tightly closed when it is not being used.

What Salagen side effects may occur?

Salagen Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue using Salagen.

More common Salagen side effects may include:

Rare Salagen side effects may include:
Breathing difficulty, diarrhea, excessive salivation, fluid in lungs, high blood pressure, nausea, rapid heartbeat, sweating, vomiting

Why should Salagen not be prescribed?

Salagen should not be used if you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to any of the components of this solution. Your doctor will not prescribe it for you if you have an eye condition in which your pupils should not be constricted.

Recommended Salagen dosage

ADULTS The usual starting Salagen dose is 1 or 2 drops up to 6 times a day, depending on the severity of the glaucoma and your response. During a severe attack, your doctor will tell you to put drops into the unaffected eye as well.
