P
atients with swallowing dysfunction are usually very ill
and have a constellation of challenging issues requiring
palliation. Accumulation of oropharyngeal secretions leads
to a substantial effort of medical teams including doctors,
nurses, respiratory therapists, and ancillary staff. We
present 10 patients successfully treated with application
of transdermal clonidine lm. It was well tolerated,
provided quick control of secretions, and reduced staff
labor. We suggest that transdermal clonidine can be used
as antisialogogue in patients with swallowing dysfunction.
Clonidine pharmacology is physiologic grounds for this
clinical application.
