Biotène® Mouthwash for Dry Mouth Relief

What Biotène Is and How It Works

Biotène® Mouthwash is an alcohol-free oral rinse made for dry mouth, also called xerostomia. It coats oral tissues and helps lock in moisture. The gentle formula freshens breath and supports a comfortable mouth feel. Many people reach for Biotène Mouthwash without insurance because it is an over-the-counter option.

Biotène® uses a moisturizing system with humectants and lubricants. These ingredients spread across the mouth and help reduce dryness and irritation. Regular use can ease sticky saliva and discomfort from medication side effects, CPAP use, or certain health conditions. The rinse works locally in the mouth and is not a treatment for underlying causes.

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. We meet Canadian pharmacy standards, and our pharmacists review all prescriptions before dispensing. We also carry OTC health products like Biotène® at Canadian prices for convenient US delivery. We partner only with licensed, vetted pharmacies to supply authentic brand items and a broad selection at fair, affordable pricing.

Form and route: oral rinse solution, swish and spit. Typical use: several times per day as needed. No prescription is required. If symptoms persist or worsen, speak with a healthcare professional.

Dosage and Usage

Follow the label directions. Do not swallow the rinse. For adults and adolescents:

• Measure about 15 mL (one tablespoon).
• Rinse thoroughly for 30 seconds.
• Spit out; do not swallow.
• Use as needed, up to several times daily.
• Do not eat or drink immediately after rinsing to allow the coating to settle.

Missed use: This rinse is used as needed. If dryness returns, repeat the rinse when convenient.

Storage and travel:

• Store at room temperature, about 15–30°C (59–86°F).
• Keep the cap tightly closed. Do not freeze.
• Protect from excessive heat and direct sun.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• When you travel, pack the bottle upright and in a leakproof bag.
• If you fly, place small bottles in your carry-on liquids bag. Check local rules.

Side Effects and Safety

Biotène® is generally well tolerated. Most people do not experience side effects. Possible effects include:

• Mild mouth irritation or tingling
• Temporary taste changes
• Tooth or gum sensitivity
• Allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, or itching (rare)

Stop use and seek medical advice if you notice swelling, hives, or trouble breathing. Avoid use if you are allergic to any ingredient on the label. Keep all oral care products away from small children.

Onset Time

Most users feel relief within minutes after rinsing. The moisturizing layer can persist for hours, though duration varies. Repeat the rinse as needed to maintain comfort through the day.

Compare With Alternatives

People manage dry mouth with different formats. A mouthwash coats quickly and reaches the whole mouth. Some prefer a spray for on-the-go use, or a gel for nighttime comfort.

A portable option is the Biotene® Moisturizing Mouth Spray. It targets dry spots and fits easily in a bag or desk. For longer contact time, a gel like Biotene® Oral Balance Gel can help coat oral tissues before sleep. You can also pair your rinse with a gentle toothpaste, such as Toothpaste Biotene Fresh Mint, to support a comfortable routine.

Other non-Biotène options include saliva substitute gels, xylitol lozenges, and sugar-free gum. Alcohol-containing mouthwashes may worsen dryness for some people. Review labels and choose alcohol-free products designed for dry mouth.

Combination Therapy

Many people use more than one dry mouth aid. A practical routine may include an alcohol-free rinse after brushing, a gel before bed, and a spray during the day. Stay hydrated, limit caffeine and alcohol, and consider a humidifier at night. Fluoride toothpaste and regular dental checkups help protect teeth when saliva is low.

If you are managing ongoing symptoms tied to medications, CPAP, or autoimmune conditions, discuss a full plan with your healthcare professional. For more background on the condition, explore our Dry Mouth Xerostomia page.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Biotène® Mouthwash suits adults and adolescents who want quick, alcohol-free moisture. It can help with dryness from many causes, including medications and certain therapies. It does not treat the underlying cause of low saliva. People with known allergies to any ingredients should avoid the product.
