A substance or drug that reduces or suppresses the flow of saliva.
From anti- (against) + sialagogue (from Greek sialon 'saliva' + agogos 'leading/promoting'). Medical term combining Greek elements with anti-.
Antihistamines are actually antisialogogues too—that dry mouth you get from allergy medicine is a side effect because histamine normally helps trigger saliva production.
