A note here. I read on the bottle of Biotene it contains polyparaben and I don't know if it is different than just paraben. I just saw the word paraben and it alerted me to my note. Woogie
@woogie, this is what I read on ChemicalSafetyFacts.org re Parabens:
Parabens have been safely used for almost 100 years as preservatives in the food, drug and personal care and cosmetic industries.
Parabens (including methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, isopropylparaben, and isobutylparaben) may be used in products such as makeup, moisturizers, and hair care and shaving products.
Good morning, I have Sjorgren's with severe dry eye and dry mouth. I use Paseo and restasis. In between I use Over the counter eye drops. My dental assistant put me on to a different mouth wash for Dry mouth. It is called Myosin.I use Biotene on my teeth and this mouth wash. You can get both on Amazon.
@sue225.......as I sit and think about this.....I don't think I have had any stinging since I started refrigerating them. Even traveling wasn't bad. The other reason I like them cold is that then I know I am covering the entire eye.......as well as getting in all the corners.....

@artscaping Hi Chris! I must thank you for the fridge tip on Restasis. My mom is 6 weeks in on the drops and was about to give up due to stinging. I told her your tip... she mentioned it to her eye doc and he said, "great idea"...so, she's giving it a whirl for another 2 weeks. Fingers crossed it works because I really think Restatis might help her severe dry eye. Thanks a bunch! Hope you are as well as well can be.
Best wishes,
Rachel

1 Reaction@lucillem72: There is no Myosin mouthwash, only Myosin supplement on amazon.com! Could it be MOISYN mouthwash? Thanks!
Oops! Sorry that's it I spelled it wrong 😬

2 ReactionsPharmacist told me to hold the tear ducts - kinda like pinching your upper nose - while "instilling" the drops to keep them where they should be.

Sorry was saying; put in the drops, place some pressure on tear ducts to keep drops in your eyes for a few moments.
