They have to different bottles of it. One cost $5.37 and the other $5.97. Either wil work for this taste problem and if he can, get him a soft tooth brush and Biotene toothpaste and tell him to brush his tongue and even around his cheeks and gums. It sure makes a world of differnece in your mouth. The tooth paste is about $5.37 too.
