Hi, - We had one member who used Evoxac for her treatment dose, after after salivary gland problems following her scan dose (which is almost unheard of for a first timer). It seemed to have been successful for her, in that she didn't have any problem after her ablative dose. Both of these meds have some unpleasant side effects, including nausea and excessive sweating. Do you have a particular reason to think you'll have a problem with your glands from the RAI? As you know, it's not uncommon to have such problems, but it's not necessarily the case. Lots of people have no serious side effects from the RAI; I didn't have any problems after either of my two 100 mCi doses. NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
