Cevimeline HCl (Evoxac) is primarily used to treat dry mouth (xerostomia) caused by Sjogren's syndrome, a condition where the body's immune system attacks the glands that produce saliva and tears.

Common side effects of cevimeline (Evoxac) include sweating, nausea, runny nose, diarrhea, and increased salivation. Less common but more serious effects may include chills, dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain, especially in individuals with respiratory or heart conditions. If any severe symptoms occur, such as difficulty breathing or chest pain, immediate medical attention should be sought.

Should be used with caution in individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma, glaucoma, or heart disease, as it can affect the respiratory system and heart rate. The medication may cause bronchospasm, wheezing, or chest tightness in those with lung conditions, and should be avoided in people with narrow-angle glaucoma due to its potential to increase intraocular pressure. It should also be used carefully in patients with liver or kidney problems, as these conditions may affect how the body processes the medication. Regular medical check-ups are essential to monitor for potential side effects or complications.

 can lead to symptoms such as excessive sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and difficulty breathing. Severe overdose may cause bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypotension (low blood pressure), or respiratory distress. If an overdose is suspected, immediate medical attention is required, and treatment typically involves supportive care, such as maintaining airway function and managing symptoms. The healthcare provider may also monitor vital signs and administer treatments to manage any adverse effects.
