For Xerostomia "I take Vesicare for an overactive bladder. It helps a lot, but the side effect is extreme dry mouth!! I tried Bioteen and didn't like the taste. I then tried TheraBreath lozenges which seemed to help, but I didn't like waking up in the night and needing to suck on a strong mint-flavored lozenge. When I tried Mouth Kote spray, I had instant relief, and it left no real bad taste in my mouth. The bottle is next to me at night, so when I wake up with a Sahara desert in my mouth, I simply spray a couple of times into my mouth, swish it around for 10 seconds, and fall right back to sleep."

For Xerostomia "I gave dry mouth as a side effect of a medication I’ve been taking. I have been using Biotene mouthwash, and it doesn’t really do much for me at all. I’ve also used the Biotene gel, it helps a little, but not much and not for long."

For Xerostomia "Tried it 3 times in one day and found it made my mouth dry, tongue slightly numb, and had a metallic aftertaste. Didn't do what it's purported to do."
