A fluid anti-xerostomia composition (I) comprises e.g.: (a) saliva salt substitute(s) selected from e.g. sodium chloride and potassium phosphate; (b) saliva formation stimulant(s) selected from e.g. citric and malic acids; (c) buccal antiseptic(s) selected from e.g. triclosan and cetyl-pyridinium chloride; and (d) anticaries agent(s) selected from e.g. sodium fluoride and xylitol. A fluid anti-xerostomia composition (I) comprises: (a) saliva salt substitute(s) selected from sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and mono- or dibasic potassium phosphate; (b) saliva formation stimulant(s) selected from citric and malic acids and their alkali metal salts; (c) buccal antiseptic(s) selected from triclosan, chlorhexidine and its salts, benzalkonium and its salts and cetyl-pyridinium chloride; (d) anticaries agent(s) selected from sodium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate and xylitol; (e) buccal mucosa protectant(s) selected from vitamin E, panthenol, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate and Aloe vera extract; and (f) water and/or polyols. ACTIVITY : Antibacterial; antiulcer. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Saliva salt substitute; saliva formation stimulant; mucosal protectant. |
