What is a cure for dry mouth?

Salagen and Evoxac are effective prescription medications that stimulate saliva production and remedy dry mouth according to the Mayo Clinic. They are used in cases of severe dry mouth when prescription medication is not the likely cause of the condition.

The Mayo Clinic staff advises that dry mouth is often a side effect of prescription drugs. In this instance a change in medication will typically remedy the symptoms. Over-the-counter mouth rinses and moisturizers such as Biotene Oral Balance increase the level of lubrication in the mouth. Decreasing caffeine and alcohol intake, chewing gum, and sipping water throughout the day are home remedies suggested by the Mayo Clinic when the condition is less severe.
