Br J Rheumatol. 1994 Mar;33(3):278-82. doi: 10.1093/rheumatology/33.3.278.

Abstract

Patients with SS often suffer considerable distress due to sicca symptoms and the complications of mucosal dryness. Although there are many topical treatments available, the literature on their use is scant. This paper describes the treatments available and suggests a rationale for the choice of product.
