am 44 yrs old man, suffering with dry mouth due to radiotherapy. I have finished the therapy 14 months ago. And started feeling little wet in my left side of mouth (left chick) since last 7 to 8 months. But condition is more or less same.
Can I take Salagen medicine to re-activate saliva?

this is something that is hard to answer my husband finished up radiation 1/28/07 mouth cancer we tried everything the only thing that helped was a mouth wash for dry mouth and he just kept drinking all of the water he could get his hands on our dr told us there are some people that never get it back so all i can really tell you is to keep drinking different thing the radiation may have killed them off and a medicine wont do any good talk to your oncologist

Why don't you control your cancer through meditation. Anyway for increasing saliva, take tea made from a tablespoon of fenugreek seeds every day twice i.e. in the morning and evening. You shoud get some positive changes in a fortnight.

My dad had throat cancer 8 years ago and also had radiotheraphy which tends to kill of the saliva glands at the side you have it on. He drinks water with every meal and inbetween to and this helps.
Good luck

Try enzymes. CoQ-10, papaya, pancreatic. Best of luck.
