When should Sulfarlem S be used for dry mouth and dry eyes?

When your mouth or eyes are dry, even the simplest tasks can quickly become uncomfortable. A dry mouth can feel like having cotton on your tongue, make swallowing more difficult, and alter the taste of food. Speech becomes less fluid, chewing becomes more laborious, and irritation may occur. As for the eyes, sensations of grit, tingling, or burning intensify, especially toward the end of the day or while looking at screens. The tear film, which normally protects and lubricates the surface of the eye, is no longer functioning properly.

These symptoms occur when the salivary or lacrimal glands produce fewer secretions than necessary. This can happen after certain medical treatments, particularly radiation therapy, which can temporarily or permanently impair their function. Other factors, such as certain medications or disorders affecting the natural regulation of secretions, can also slow down this production. The result is the same: a less-protected, more fragile mucous membrane and discomfort that gradually sets in over time.

Sulfarlem S acts as an internal support for these secretions. Its active ingredient, anetholtrithione, stimulates the glands responsible for producing saliva and tears. Its action can be compared to giving the body’s natural “taps” a “nudge” to restore a more regular and comfortable flow.

By promoting this gradual restoration, the medication helps alleviate feelings of dryness, promote comfort in the mouth and eyes, and support the balance of the mucous membranes. A better-moistened mouth also helps reduce the risk of cavities, difficulty chewing, or irritation, while a more stable tear film provides better protection for the surface of the eye.

The effect is not immediate, as the body needs a few days to respond to the stimulation. This gentle, gradual action is part of a comprehensive approach to managing xerostomia and dry eyes, complementing hygiene and hydration measures.

To reinforce this approach, saliva substitutes or artificial tears can be used in combination to provide rapid symptom relief, while Sulfarlem S works deeply to restore natural secretions.

How should this medication be used?

The generally recommended dosage is 1 tablet, 3 times a day, to be taken with meals.
The duration of treatment is determined by your doctor. Since the effect becomes apparent after a few days, the dosage may be adjusted based on the benefits experienced.
In case of overdose, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

Our expert advice on Sulfarlem S

To optimize results, be sure to stay hydrated throughout the day, chew sugar-free gum to mechanically stimulate saliva production, and avoid very salty or acidic foods. Combining this medication with saliva substitutes or artificial tears provides rapid relief, while Sulfarlem S works to naturally stimulate saliva secretion.

FAQ

How long does it take to feel the effects?
The first effects usually appear after a few days of treatment, as the glands respond to the stimulation.

Can it be used long-term?
The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor based on the progression of symptoms and the response to treatment.

Does this medication replace artificial tears?
No. It works in a complementary way by stimulating natural tear production, while artificial tears provide immediate relief.

LEXICON

allergy

Skin reaction (itching, pimples, swelling) or general discomfort following contact with a particular substance, use of a medicine or ingestion of a food. The main forms of allergy are eczema, urticaria, asthma, angioedema and allergic shock (anaphylactic shock). Food allergy can also lead to digestive problems.

WHEAT STARCH

Starch is a long chain of glucose (sugar) molecules. Found in cereals, potatoes and other starchy foods, starch is one of the basic building blocks of our diet. Starch extracted from wheat is used as an ingredient in many industrial foods, and also as an excipient (a component with no therapeutic activity) in many medicines. Some people are allergic to wheat-derived products (gluten allergy or celiac disease) and cannot tolerate foods or medicines containing wheat starch.

bloating

Accumulation of air or gas in the intestine.

See article: Bloating, flatulence and aerophagia

diarrhea

The strict medical meaning of diarrhea is "the emission of stools that are too frequent and too abundant". In fact, common sense equates diarrhea with the notion of frequent, liquid stools. Normally, stools are pasty, but the emission of liquid or barely-formed stools, with no associated pain or particular disorder, is not pathological. Diarrhea occurs when liquid stools are passed repeatedly throughout the day, and the need for them is urgent or painful.

Many drugs can accelerate intestinal transit and make stools more liquid, without this undesirable effect being a real cause for concern.

Antibiotics can alter the digestive flora, essential for digestion, and cause diarrhoea, which is more or less uncomfortable but benign. The effect may appear immediately or after a few days' treatment. A serious and exceptional form of diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, may be observed after antibiotic treatment; this condition is characterized by the emission of mucus and false membranes (resembling flaps of skin) associated with abdominal pain; constipation may replace the initial diarrhea. Pseudomembranous colitis may occur several days after antibiotic treatment has stopped, and requires urgent medical advice.

See article: Diarrhea and gastroenteritis in adults or Diarrhea and gastroenteritis in children

lactose

Lactose is a sugar found in milk and certain milk derivatives. To digest it, the intestine must be able to secrete an enzyme called lactase. Many people lose the ability to produce lactase in adulthood. Lactose then passes into the intestine undigested, and its presence causes intestinal problems such as diarrhoea, bloating and gas. Some medicines contain lactose as an excipient (a component with no therapeutic activity). People who do not digest lactose may suffer adverse intestinal effects when taking this type of medication.

dosage

Quantity and distribution of a drug dose according to the patient's age, weight and general condition.

allergic reaction

Reaction caused by the body's hypersensitivity to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a variety of forms: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, measles-like rash and so on. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes a sudden drop in blood pressure.

See article: Can you be allergic to medicines?

sucrose

Sucrose is the substance that makes up cooking sugar and the industrial sugar found in cookies, cakes, sweets and sweetened drinks (a liter-and-a-half bottle of soda contains the equivalent of thirty lumps of sugar). Some people are intolerant to the fructose produced by the digestion of sucrose, and suffer from bloating and diarrhoea. Some medicines contain sucrose as an excipient (a component with no therapeutic activity).

See article: Are all carbohydrates the same?

bile ducts

Excretory pathway leading bile from the liver to the duodenum. They include the bile duct and the gallbladder, the reservoir that stores excess bile between meals.
