Preferred Label : Herbal Polysaccharide Saliva Substitute;
NCIt definition : A plant-based, proprietary formulation of saliva substitute with potential anti-xerostomia
activity. Extracted from the plant called yerba santa (holy herb), herbal polysaccharide
saliva substitute contains plant mucins, which is nearly identical to that of human
mucous membranes. Upon direct application using the polysaccharide-containing spray,
a protective film of moisture is deposited over the mucous membranes of the mouth
and throat. The xylitol in this preparation protects against the formation of harmful
oral flora and thus helps to prevent cavities. Moreover, this agent has shown a demineralization
effect on dentin.;
