Has anyone used the oral medication for dry mouth (Sjogren's)?

Posted by harryboy7 @harryboy7, Feb 19 9:54am

I have Sjogrens and autoimmune issues. My mouth is getting more dry than ever. Night time is the WORSE. I have tried everything in the book. I know there is a medication that can help when all else fails.
I am wondering if anyone has tried it, and if so what did they think. Thanks

Good morning...I knew I had Sjogrens but up until this year it was very manageable and then things got crazy. I woke up in August and I could barely form words and need to see a speech pathologist which are in short supply so who knows. I moved from Toronto to Nova Scotia and regret it. But day by day! Enjoy your day!

I use “Allday” dry mouth gel, mostly use at night, get at Amazon. Also CycloSporine eye drops. I do cough drops while sleeping too.

@migraineelaine ---It's scary to sleep with any sort of a drop in your mouth!
I've warned others about my aunt who choked on a drop while sleeping.
Please be careful.

@mermaid7272 Yikes. I worry about that too.

Thanks. I'm willing to something else.

I’ve been using XYLIMEKTS for a couple of years and makes all the difference in the world during the night. My tongue no longer is glued to my pallet when I wake up.

@carlarosie I'll try to find XYLIMEKTS, I haven't seen them in our drug store, but maybe Amazon carries them. Thanks!

I buy a bottle of 100 through Amazon. I prefer the sweet, though they are not sweet, to the mint. That will be your choice.

I have been using the Biotene rinse mouthwash and the moisturizer spray, they are pretty good!
