Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Salagen from Canada?
90-day cost = 270 tablets at the usual dose of 3 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price of the same strength (5 mg); rows for other strengths show no saving. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

What is Salagen used for?
Salagen (pilocarpine) helps the salivary glands make more saliva. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used to treat:
- Dry mouth caused by radiation treatment for head and neck cancer, when the salivary glands no longer work well.
- Dry mouth in people with Sjogren's syndrome.
Salagen comes as 5 mg and 7.5 mg film-coated tablets in bottles of 100. After head and neck radiation, the label's starting dose is 5 mg three times a day, adjusted up to 15 to 30 mg a day (no more than 10 mg at a time); it can take 12 weeks to tell whether it helps. For Sjogren's syndrome the dose is 5 mg four times a day. People with moderate liver problems start at 5 mg twice a day. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Salagen from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Salagen, compare the U.S. price of the FDA-approved generic pilocarpine before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Salagen 5 mg tablets are sold under the same name by Amdipharm (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12).
