This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have noticed excessive production of saliva in the mouth. It becomes embarrassing when saliva comes out almost after every word I speak. Is there any cure for reducing it? Kindly suggest.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

The mentioned symptoms relate to hypersalivation and it can be treated. Glycopyrrolate can be used for reducing salivation, but this medication cannot be prescribed online. Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take the medication with their consent and prescription.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
