saliva subsistute

[rememdium]

Hi has anybody used a saliva substitute for dry mouth I have seen a gel advertised

[pergola1]

I am wondering why you have a dry mouth. Just as well to google the cause, and if necessary, consult your GP. Yes, there is a spray that can be used. Not popular with my husband when he was poorly. Take plenty of fluids -- end of sermon !!! (SMILEY)

I haven't heard of it. I also get a very dry mouth. I just sip water. A friend has recommended pure coconut oil available from health food shops and Saintsbury's. Nan

Dear rememdium,

My wife has a problem with a lack of saliva she is prescribed lemon flavour Glandosane

which is an artificial saliva, she finds this works and is ok on taste.

Best regards,

Robert

Good morning rememdium,

The British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association sell a product called Xerostom for dry mouth. It comes in a gel, toothpaste, pastilles, mouthwash, spray and capsules. See britishsnoring.co.uk/shop/x...

rememdium Welcome. I thought the doctor can porescribe this. I vaguely remember that I had this. I now keep a bottle of Caledonian naturally carbonated water by my bed, tastes nice and helps. Regards, Mic
