Abstract

Dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common complaint which occurs in about 25% of the elderly. Drugs play a principal role in its etiology. This REFERENCE GUIDE is designed to help the practitioner identify the medicaments which may cause this condition. Moreover, it offers suggestions for the treatment of drug‐induced dry mouth.
