Hi: My mom, in hospice, was receiving atropine drops for oral secretions. It worked well (otherwise, she would be choking on her secretions). Due to high cost, she is now on Levsin tables (crushed and given in apple sauce, but still bitter). Any other options to suggest? (hospice nurse can request from MD; but, generally MDs do not see these patients). Thank you! sonia
Levsin is a good belladonna alkaloid and a good medicine to stop secretions as well as cramps and to bring control to bowel and bladder and I hope would be controlling the problem well.
