Can evoxac cause any serious illness ?

Evoxac is indicated for the treatment of symptoms of dry mouth in patients with Sjögren's Syndrome.

Some common side effects are: Sweating, nausea, runny nose, flushing, frequent urge to urinate, dizziness, weakness, diarrhea, and blurred vision may occur.

This medication may cause an increase in tears. This can be helpful if you have dry eyes.

Tell the doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: slow/fast/irregular heartbeat, shakiness (tremor), fainting, lung problems (such as increased wheezing/cough/phlegm), mental/mood changes (such as confusion, agitation), severe stomach/abdominal pain.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
