What is another word for pilocarpine?
Pronunciation: [pˈa͡ɪləkˌɑːpa͡ɪn] (IPA) 
Pilocarpine is a medication used to treat dry mouth caused by radiation treatment or Sjogren's syndrome. It is a parasympathomimetic alkaloid that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to increased salivation. Some synonyms for pilocarpine include Miokim, Isopto Carpine, and Salagen. These drugs work in a similar way to pilocarpine, increasing the amount of saliva in the mouth. However, they differ in their formulation, dosing, and side effects. Other medications that can be used for the treatment of dry mouth include cevimeline, which is a cholinergic agonist, and artificial saliva preparations, which mimic natural saliva.
