  • Hypersalivation in Children and Adults
    Pharmacological Management of Hypersalivation in Children and Adults Scope: Adult patients with Parkinson’s disease, children with neurodisability, cerebral palsy, long-term ventilation with drooling, and drug-induced hypersalivation. ASSESSMENT OF SEVERITY/RESPONSE TO TREATMENT: Severity of drooling can be assessed subjectively via discussion with patients and their carers/parents and by observation. Amount of drooling can be quantified by measuring the number of bibs required per day and this can also be graded using the Thomas-Stonell and Greenberg scale: • 1 = Dry (no drooling) • 2 = Mild (moist lips) • 3 = Moderate (wet lips and chin) • 4 = Severe (damp clothing) CONSIDERATIONS FOR PRESCRIBING/TITRATION No evidence to support the use of one particular treatment over another. Drug choice is to be determined by individual patient factors. When prescribing/titrating antimuscarinic drugs to treat hypersalivation always take account of: • Coexisting conditions (for example, history of urinary retention, constipation, glaucoma, dental issues, reflux etc.) • Use of other existing medication affecting the total antimuscarinic burden • Risk of adverse effects Titrate dose upward until the desired level of dryness, side effects or maximum dose reached. Take into account the preferences of the patients and their carers/ parents, and the age range and indication covered by the marketing authorisations (see individual summaries of product characteristics, BNF or BNFc for full prescribing information).

M,-receptors, however, appear pre- and postsynaptically in brain, are regulated by an intrinsic The muscarinic receptors that modulate acetylcholine membrane protein that binds to GTP (g-protein), and may not be release from rat cortical synaptosomes were characterized coupled to changes in phosphatidylinositol turnover. with respect to sensitivity to drugs that act selectively at M, The present studies were designed to determine whether M,- or or Ma receptor subtypes, as well as to changes in ionic Mp-receptors mediate the presynaptic modulation of ACh release. strength and membrane potential.
