atrophine for drooling

[Mahealani]

I have consistent drooling and my DR prescribed me with Atrophine Sulfate "atrophine". I’m worried about it causing bad constipation along with other side effects. Any thoughts about it?

I used glycopyrrolate and had the same issue. I found increasing my fluids and a Senna Plus every other night straightened me out.

its a wise idea to always increase fluids when taking something that helps "dry" you out. most of the meds dont just dry up the saliva. usually the whole system is affected. so yes... increase fluids as much as you can.
