Dry mouth rarely appears without a reason. For some people a cause is immediately obvious - a new medication, a course of radiotherapy, or a night of mouth-breathing. For others, it has crept up slowly and a cause is harder to identify.
Understanding your cause matters - not because it always leads to a cure, but because it guides the most effective management. Whatever the reason, XyliMelts work across all causes to provide real, lasting relief during the day and through the night.
More than 1 in 4 of us suffer with Dry Mouth, as a consequence of medical treatments, drug side effects & debilitating or degenerating diseases.
Dry mouth is a common problem among older people. A vast number of medicines, both over the counter and prescribed medications can cause a dry mouth, including antidepressants, antihistamines and diuretics. This is one of the many contributing factors to why so many older adults suffer from dry mouth as they age, as well as the changes in the body’s ability to process medication, inadequate nutrition, and having long-term health problems.
There are many different reasons why a dry mouth can affect people. It could be something as simple as:
- Snoring or sleeping with your mouth open
- Alcohol consumption
- Stress/anxiety
- Dental decay
- Dehydration, not drinking enough water
Or you may have a dry mouth because of the one of the more complex causes listed on the right.
