What is Salivamax?
Salivamax is a brand-name artificial saliva used to relieve the symptoms of dry mouth. Salivamax is a calcium phosphate powder that, when mixed with water, is intended as a saliva substitute for patients who do not produce enough saliva to keep the mouth moist. Dry mouth has a number of causes: surgery, salivary gland dysfunction, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and Sjögren's syndrome, among others. Salivamax does not treat the underlying condition of dry mouth and can be prescribed to treat dry mouth no matter what the cause.
Salivamax is taken throughout the day depending on the severity of the dry mouth condition. Salivamax is rinse-only and should be spat out after being swished around in the mouth.
