For Xerostomia "After being put on a CPAP machine, I purchased XyliMelts Dry Mouth Stick on Melts. The night I used them, I did experience significant relief from dry mouth. However, I ended up with two severe sores on each side of my mouth in the area where I used the product. It has been a week since I used them, and the sores are still painful and present. I have not used XyliMelts since then. What I find concerning is that although other people have reported this side effect, I cannot find any information from the manufacturer stating that it can cause mouth ulcers or sores as a side effect. The only mention I found was that a small number of people can be allergic to the adhesive and should buy the product with a different form of adhesive."

For Xerostomia "I thought they were great at first, but my tongue would be extra sensitive after using them. I stopped after a week or so, but my dry mouth kept me up all night recently, so last night I used another one. Today my tongue has little sores all over it, and it hurts to eat. I won't be using these again."
