Abstract

Drooling is a pathologic condition that is commonly associated with neurodisability and poor quality of life. An elderly dementia patient and an adult cancer patient suffered from persistent drooling, and they were both prescribed glycopyrrolate 0.5-mg sorbitol lollipops, per recommendation of their local compounding pharmacist. The severity and frequency of drooling decreased substantially in both patients, and there were no reported adverse effects. These two case reports demonstrate the safety and efficacy of glycopyrrolate lollipops in managing excessive salivation, as well as the importance of the triad relationship in addressing the individual patient needs.
