Saliva substitutes are manmade forms of the mucus secretions normally produced in the human mouth. Saliva substitutes help to create artificial saliva when the body does not produce enough on its own.

Saliva substitutes are used to help relieve dryness and pain or discomfort in the mouth or throat that may be caused by certain disease conditions, medications, surgery, or chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Saliva substitutes may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

There are many brands and forms of saliva substitutes available. Not all brands are listed on this leaflet. Follow all directions on your medicine label and package.

You should not use saliva substitutes if you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed on the product package.

Ask a doctor before using saliva substitutes if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
