Available by prescription only, Caphosol® (supersaturated calcium phosphate rinse) is a medicated mouth rinse approved to relieve a dry mouth or throat due to any cause. It is also licensed to treat mouth sores caused by radiation or chemotherapy treatment.
Caphosol comes in the form of a liquid mouth rinse that is used 2 to 10 times daily, depending on the particular reason it is being used. Although it is not likely to be harmful if it is swallowed, make sure to spit out the liquid after each use.
