Hypersalivation from chemotherapy ? Posted: 06-25-08 18:48pm


Can certain drugs cause hypersalivation? I have just completed 5 cycles of Rituxan/fludarabine chemo for follicular lymphoma...Am taking many preventative drugs (for side effects) new drugs include Acyclovir,Bactrim, Fluconazole,Prevacid(for ulcers caused by Esophageal Candidiasis) a result of the last cycle of chemo..... I have so much saliva I can't manage it...could one of these drugs be causing this?
