NCIt synonyms : Artificial Saliva Spray with Cumin and Ginger Extract;
NCIt definition : An artificial saliva spray formulation containing cumin and ginger extract, that has
potential anti-xerostomia activity. Upon direct oral application of the cumin/ginger
extract-based artificial saliva spray, a protective film of moisture is deposited
over the mucous membranes of the mouth, which relieves dryness of the mucous membranes
and increases salivary flow. Ginger and cumin may increase salivation and reduce xerostomia.
In addition, this artificial saliva spray may help prevent chemotherapy- or radiotherapy-induced
oral mucositis.;
