Hi. I have been using Prescription cevimelene 30 mgs. for dry mouth. It is expensive and my insurance doesnt cover it. Go figure. But I pay for it and seems like it helps.

Have you tried Biotene? I’ve found their products to help a bit.

Hi. I use it each night when it is the worse. Thank you.

Sounds like nothing works clearly and definitively. I find the Oral 7 gel helpful during the day and on long walks.

I still use Biotene. Like t(r flavor too. But take a cevimeline at night. Used to
Take 3/ day but now only one. I’m 8 yrs out. I pay $65 usually with Goodrx but it is worth it. Lasts me for 90 days, since original,script was for 3 / day. 😉Wish you the best.
