Abstract
The concomitant administration of pilocarpine during radiation increases unstimulated salivary flow rate and reduces clinician-rated xerostomia grade after radiation. It also relieves patients' xerostomia at 6Â months and possibly at 12Â months. However, pilocarpine has no effect on stimulated salivary flow rate.
