About Moistagen

Moistagen is a specially formulated oral rinse currently under
evaluation to relieve the symptoms of dry mouth using cutting-edge
lubricants that coat the surface of the mouth to protect and may hydrate
dry and irritated oral tissues. These components also have the potential
to loosen sticky, dry mucus and help moisten oral surfaces. Moistagen is
anticipated to be cleared for marketing by the FDA in the second half of
2016.
