Artificial saliva

Artificial saliva is a specialized electrolyte solution designed to mimic the natural composition of human saliva, providing moisture, lubrication, and cleaning for the mouth, tongue, and throat tissues. It is used to alleviate dryness in the mouth or throat caused by either temporary conditions like medication side effects or permanent conditions such as Sjögren's syndrome.

Devices in this category are typically supplied as single-use solutions and are regulated based on their intended purpose as mouth rinses or oral mists. They are not classified as medicated products and do not contain drugs, focusing instead on restoring the ionic balance and pH of the oral cavity.
