WHAT SIALANAR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sialanar contains the active substance glycopyrronium.
Glycopyrronium belongs to a group of medicines known as quaternary
ammonium anticholinergics,
which are agents that block or reduce the transmission between nerve
cells. This reduced transmission
can de-activate the cells that produce saliva.
Sialanar is used to treat excessive production of saliva (sialorrhoea)
in children and adolescents aged
3 years and older.
Sialorrhoea (drooling or excessive salivation) is a common symptom of
many diseases of the nerves
and muscles. It is mostly caused by poor control of muscles in the
face. Acute sialorrhoea may be
associated with inflammation, dental infections or infections of the
mouth.
Sialanar acts on the salivary glands to reduce production of saliva.
2.

−

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Symptomatic treatment of severe sialorrhoea (chronic pathological
drooling) in children and
adolescents aged 3 years and older with chronic neurological
disorders.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Sialanar should be prescribed by physicians experienced in the
treatment of paediatric patients with
neurological disorders.
Posology
Due to the lack of long term safety data, Sialanar is recommended for
short -term intermittent use (see
section 4.4).
_Paediatric population – children and adolescents aged 3 years and
older _
The dosing schedule for glycopyrronium is based on the weight of the
child, starting with
approximately 12.8 micrograms/kg per dose (equivalent to 16
micrograms/kg per dose
glycopyrronium bromide), three times per day and increasing by the
doses shown in Table 1 below,
every 7 days. Dose titration should be continued until efficacy is
balanced with undesirable effects and
amended up or down as appropriate, to a maximum individual dose of 64
micrograms/kg body weight
glycopyrronium or 6 ml (1.9 mg glycopyrronium, equivalent to 2.4 mg
glycopyrronium bromide) three
times a day, whichever is less. Dose titrations should be conducted in
discussion with the carer to
assess both efficacy and undesirable effects until an acceptable
maintenance dose is achieved.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective
dose necessary to control
symptoms. It is important that the carer checks the dose volume in the
syringe before administration.
The maximum volume of the highest dose
