Summary

Relief from the effects of radiation-induced xerostomia resulting from use of saliva-stimulating lozenges (Salix) has been subjectively evaluated. Ten patients took Salix as required for 7 days, and self-assessed using analogue scales before and after treatment. There was a marked and statistically significant improvement in the dryness and general comfort of the mouth, and beneficial effects on eating, sleeping and speech.
