Dry Mouth

[lucyc89]

Hello

I am worried about dry mouth symptoms.

Which products do you recommend? I read Saliva Orthana is good but I can't find it online!

Thank you

Lucy

Yes it's great, this site seems to have it in stock: https://www.chemist.net/medicines/o...CpoiSzQzqyq0RB1m50EBGyjJKMCvlbO-8dPLBspvq-QtN

Alternatively you can ask for it on prescription from your GP/Dentist.

Thank you. I can't seem to see it... Is it saliveze?

That's weird, it was there when I posted the link and now it's disappeared! As far as I can make out, the supplier in the UK has changed fairly recently, so it might take a wee while for stocks to come through again.

Best I can suggest is to try a few others they're all much of a muchness, or you can make up your own saliva substitute, with glycerine, water and a little bit of lemon juice for flavour and stimulation of natural saliva. You want about 4-5 drops of glycerine to 500ml water.

@Gordon thank you. That's really kind.
Is lemon juice okay for the mouth as it's acidic?

 

[Gordon]

Yes it's OK in small doses, but you can omit if you want, it's good for stimulating saliva production and makes things taste a bit better. Just a drop or two is plenty.
