Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | I am so frustrated I can't find this anywhere here yet. Does Walgreens have a web store? Does this really last longer than the gel in your experience? I really need something that can see me through a 50 min. mostly-me-talking with a few breaks during which I could take another squirt of spray class in order to get back in the classroom next semester....I MISS the classroom :-(

Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 109 | The biotene.com website says it should be available at these stores now:
Walgreens
Pathmark
A&P
Bi-Mart
CostCutter
Drug Fair
Then it also says if you don't find it in your store ask the pharmacist to order it for you and they should be able to get it within 48 hours. It says to make sure you specify Oralbalance liquid, and says if you have any problems getting it to call their toll free customer service number at 800-922-5856.

OralBalance Liquid can be found online at dentaldepot dot com. I recently purchased some from them and it was about as smooth a transaction as I could ever hope for. The product was received in two days.

Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 188 Likes: 1 | I found it at the local Walgreen's the other day, but it was pretty expensive, $6.99, while it's only $4.99 at the internet site Bill mentioned. If the shipping charges don't eat up the savings, it looks like a pretty good deal.
I tried it, and it worked pretty well for me.
Thanks Bill
Good Health
