Dry Mouth Remedies?

[Rugbyguy]

I am on oxygen 24/7, sleep with a CPAP machine and take prednisone for advanced PF and 'usual' medications for a heart condition. I'm becoming increasingly bothered by a dry mouth, especially on waking even though I am not a mouth breather. Are there any effective remedies out there? Must be sugar free.

Good afternoon, I'm sure your complaint isn't an unusual one, as some medications can cause a dry mouth, and sometimes oral thrush. Why don't you give our clinical team a call for a chat - 03000 030 555.

Regards, Biddy

Thank you. Is this number OK to ring from France?

Ooh I'm not sure, give it a go.

However, while treatment of lung conditions may follow general guidelines, there may be differences in procedures and policies in the healthcare system in France which could mean our advice may not be wholly relevant. We could still have a general chat though

There is a product called Biotene. Comes in all different forms. Mouth wash, tooth paste and mouth spray plus others. You should be able to find many more at your local drug store.

Thank you. I live in France and ordered the spray which arrived today. Looking forward to trying out later!
