Sialor Information

Sialor (Anethole Trithione) is primarily used to treat xerostomia, more commonly known as dry mouth. Dry mouth arises as a result of a reduction in the production of saliva from the salivary glands. Untreated dry mouth can impair your oral hygiene and cause some discomfort. A reduced saliva production may be due to a medication’s side effects, or radiation therapy meant for treating head/neck cancers, but indirectly causing damage to the salivary glands. It may also be due to an autoimmune condition called Sjögren's syndrome, which affects the moisture-producing glands, such as salivary glands.

The way by which this sialogogue agent works is not fully understood. But Sialor is thought to work by directly stimulating the secretory cells in the salivary glands to increase saliva output. Some studies suggest that it enhances the parasympathetic nervous system's effects by modulating muscarinic acetylcholine receptors or increasing specific neuropeptides in saliva, ultimately leading to increased saliva production.

While being a saliva-stimulating agent is its primary use, some research has also noted its potential effectiveness as an adjunctive treatment for certain liver/bile diseases, such as cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), gallstones, indigestion, chronic hepatitis, and liver cirrhosis. It helps treat these conditions by acting as a choleretic, directly stimulating bile production and the production of the protective antioxidant glutathione in the liver, potentially supporting detoxification processes and protecting the liver from oxidative stress.

The onset of action of anethole trithione can vary widely among individuals. For dry mouth, an initial improvement in symptoms is typically noticed within a few days to possibly a whole week after treatment begins.
