Description
Sources: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2005/020989s006lbl.pdf
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.drugs.com/pro/cevimeline.html | http://www.rxlist.com/evoxac-drug.htm

Cevimeline is a cholinergic agonist, which binds to muscarinic receptors. Muscarinic agonists in sufficient dosage can increase secretion of exocrine glands, such as salivary and sweat glands and increase tone of the smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. Cevimeline is indicated for the treatment of symptoms of dry mouth in patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome. Known side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, rash, headache, runny nose, cough, drowsiness, hot flashes, blurred vision, and difficulty sleeping. Cevimeline should be administered with caution to patients taking beta adrenergic antagonists, because of the possibility of conduction disturbances. Drugs with para-sympathomimetic effects administered concurrently with cevimeline can be expected to have additive effects. Cevimeline might interfere with desirable antimuscarinic effects of drugs used concomitantly.
