I've noticed that there are a lot of other brands at the drugstores who are jumping on the "dry mouth product" bandwagon...i.e. Colgate, Crest, Act. Not exactly sure which companies, but they are some of the big ones that have had products on the market for a long time. I suspect that they are trying to get their share of the marketplace. Perhaps these companies knew of the purchase of the Biotene company and scurried to get their products on shelves. It wouldn't surprise me if they contained (essentially) the very same formula. I'll have to compare labels the next time I go into CVS. Thank you, Brian, for always looking out for us and doing what is best for OCF.
