Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 It is an " anticholinergic " which could cause problems with LBD, however there are certainly situations that these sort of medicines are needed. Here's a link from LBD org that might be helpful http://www.community.lbda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4 <http://www.community.lbda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4 & t=2796> & t=2796 Here's information from MNDA (motor neurone disease association - I referred to this site often as I helped a friend who passed from ALS) This pdf file deals with excessive saliva issue and has a good breakdown of everything I found that could be used to help it. You might find it useful though it does not deal with LBD exclusively. They mention cutting the patch in half or smaller if it thickens saliva too much and this is something we did for my friend with ALS that worked well. We also used mouth swabs soaked in sage tea that helped quite a lot. http://www.mndassociation.org/search_clicks.rm?id=30 <http://www.mndassociation.org/search_clicks.rm?id=30 & destinationtype=2 & inst anceid=220857> & destinationtype=2 & instanceid=220857 http://www.mndassociation.org/life_with_mnd/getting_more_information/publica tions/publications_.html From: LBDcaregivers [mailto:LBDcaregivers ] On Behalf Of bunebrown Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 2:11 AM To: LBDcaregivers Subject: saliva reducing patch anyone have any experience and/or info, etc. about using with LBD?
