Overall Improvement Rate in Dry Mouth Symptoms Primary · Weeks 2, 4, and 8

At visits to the study site at two, four, and eight weeks after the start of administration, subjects self-assessed the overall change in their dry mouth symptoms in comparison with their symptoms before the start of treatment on the following four-grade scale: (1) Markedly improved (clearly better), (2) Improved (better) , (3) Unchanged (almost no difference), and (4) Aggravated (worse). The improvement rate was calculated by defining improvement as an assessment of either (1) Markedly improved or (2) Improved.
