Summary:An aqueous liquid for promoting the production of human saliva in situ comprises: (a) about 2 to 3 wgt percent organic acidulent such as citric, malic, or ascorbic acid; (b) about 0.5 to 2.5 wgt percent of a natural, food-grade sweetener such as fructose or 0.05 to 0.5 wgt percent of a synthetic sweetener such as aspartame or saccharin; and (c) a saturated calcium phosphate solution. The preferred form of the aqueous liquid is a metered, hand-actuated, aerosol spray of about 0.15 ml. per actuation. By employing the aqueous liquid of the invention the production of saliva is tripled, thus alleviating the many symptoms of xerostomia no matter what its cause.
