Perspective from dentists on SjD dry mouth: muscarinic agonists (pilocarpine, cevimeline) help, but side effects limit use. Two ways to improve it: split pilocarpine dosing (2.5 mg four times daily) and a cevimeline mouth rinse in 6 or more divided doses. #APLAR26 @RheumNow https://t.co/phiLD0qaoR

@RheumNow Do the two fixes work? Split pilocarpine (n=20 SjD, 4 weeks): sweating severity 3.7 to 1.7 (p<0.001), oral dryness VAS 61.0 to 43.6 (p=0.011). Cevimeline rinse (n=12 SjD): unstimulated salivary flow higher than juice control at 1 and 2 h. Small studies. #APLAR26 @RheumNow https://t.co/LEDHFGwh8Q

Lupus/LN should not be a sole indication for a C-section
C-section should be reserved for obstetric indications.
Adapt a multidisciplinary approach.
