Customer Reviews of Biotene Oral Rinse, Dry Mouth 16 fl oz (473 ml)
Customer Review: Alcohol and Sugar Free Mouthwash for "Dry Mouth" Consult your Doctor.
Summary: 5 Stars
When my (unpaid) personal products consultant, James, banged on the door, mumbling something about "Drymuth," I thought he had once again ran out of martini ingredients.
I was wrong--he was asking about dry mouth, and whether I had ever had it. After all, he explained, chronic dry mouth is not only uncomfortable but can interfere with daily activities, can result in, or be a symptom of, more serious health problems, and may be caused by hundreds of different medications and treatments. (He must have Googled the term.) So, armed with James' firsthand experience, as well as information from Biotene's manufacturers (see their incredibly informative website at www.laclede.com) we proceed:
Biotene is a mouthwash designed especially for symptoms of "dry mouth." (Again, see laclede.com, an impartial medical website, or your physician for more information). In any event, you may wish to consult with a physician because--as noted above--the condition may be a side effect of a medication (as it was in the case of my friend) or a symptom of an even more serious disorder. Biotene claims (on their bottle) that it "cleans and refreshes and helps in the healing of minor irritation."
Ingredients include three enzymes and one protein that occurs naturally in saliva (lysozyme, lactoferrin, glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase), and xylitol for sweetening. Therefore it contains no sugar or saccharin, but you might want to consult on xylitol. Glucose Oxidase and Lactoperoxidase generate "a constant flow of OSCN ions (hypothiocyanite), a strong antibacterial agent that should always be present in saliva."
Lysozyme is an enzyme thats attacks bacteria, and lactoferrin binds with iron, thus inhibiting pathogenic bacteria.
According to James, the taste is mild, not sugary or overly syrupy, and there is no stinging. A smaller size is available, but you'll pay much more per ounce. On the other hand, if you've never tried it before, and can't score a physician sample, you might want to try out the two ounce side first.
