Biotene vs Salivea

My husband recently discovered Salivea mouthwash and mouth spray for his dry mouth.  They also make a toothpaste. Laclede, the company that originally developed Biotene, sold Biotene to GSK in 2008. GSK changed the formula and many people at the time said the new formula wasn’t as effective.  The non-compete expired in 2018 and Salivea started selling dry mouth products using the original formula.  So if Biotene isn’t working for you, try Salivea.  Unfortunately it may be more expensive and seems to only be available online (Walgreens, Salivea and Amazon).  You can read more at https://www.salivea.com/.
