Hi ginnie,

The mouthwash recommended for dry mouth is called Biotene. Some people have success with this, while others not so much. The main reason for the lack of success is because it is the medication that is causing the problem so irrelevant of what you do, the problem will be there as long as you take the medication. People who take these meds long term have lots of dental problems and even when they stop the drug, the saliva does not increase to what it should be because at that point, the condition is not able to be reversed. Although many people rely on these drugs on a daily basis, they really should be used for short periods of time.

I will also seek Walgreens, there is a mouth wash on the market that helps with dry mouth. I havn't heard if bryanna knows of this product or not. ginnie
