Suggest Medication For Excessive Salivation

Is there a medication available for.excessive salivation? I had glaucoma but was treated with lasers so the eye pressure is normal and I no longer need to use eye drops. I have been diagnosed with early onset ALS, presently it is only affecting my tongue and speech and thus causing this salivation problem. I am looking for a treatment which has the least amount of side effects. I ll wait and ask a doctor at Mass General Hospital in Boston
