Short answer

The typical directions listed for Dry mouth rinse are to swish 10 mL for 1 minute, up to 3 times daily. These are general directions, not a personal dosing plan. Follow your prescribing physician’s instructions and the pharmacy label. If they differ, ask the pharmacy or prescriber to clear this up before using the rinse.
This rinse contains pilocarpine 0.1%, xylitol, and aloe. Do not increase the amount, swishing time, or daily use because your mouth still feels dry. More medicine may increase side effects. Use a marked medicine cup or oral syringe to measure the dose, rather than a kitchen spoon. Confirm with the pharmacy that the measuring tool is suitable for this rinse.
A licensed physician in your state decides whether treatment and dosing are appropriate after reviewing your visit. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved. Ask your prescriber what to do if your prescribed dose causes discomfort or does not meet your needs.
