Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 6 | Hello,
Is anyone familiar with Oromoist for dry mouth? Due to radiation treatments, my brother's saliva glands are no longer functioning. His palate was removed due to a recent recurrence of his oral cancer. I wanted to suggest this product to him but would like to know first if others have used it.
Any information appreciated.

They were not doing well in the marketplace with it, and sold it off for pennies on the dollar that they had invested in it, and went out and bought the Biotene Brand. Every one has preferences. If you really like Oasis, you can buy USP glycerine at the drug store for just a few dollars and make up your own for pennies a gallon. I did it when I was still in treatment at the recommendation of one of my dentists at MDACC. I've never seen the Oromoist product anywhere so I can't comment on that.
