MI Paste for Polypharmacy

What is Polypharmacy?

Polypharmacy is defined as the use of multiple medications by a patient and is more common in individuals with multiple or chronic ailments, and with the elderly. Polypharmacy leaves the individual at risk for medication oral interactions. One of the common challenges associated with Polypharmacy is Xerostomia, or Dry Mouth.

 

Are your medications causing dry mouth?

Over 1,000 medications are known to cause dry mouth as a side effect including treatments for allergies, blood pressure, heart disease, and depression. Combating illness can be challenging enough without the added discomfort of dry mouth and the subsequent oral decay. MI Paste is specially formulated to sooth and counteract dry mouth and encourage the production of healthy saliva.

Why should I use MI Paste to treat medication-related dry mouth?

Polypharmacy introduces multiple medications that can decrease saliva production causing discomfort and decreasing natural protective elements. Saliva distributes minerals and lubricates the mouth during normal functioning, but less or poor quality saliva will lead to tooth decay, sensitivity, and cavities. MI Paste restores natural-feeling lubrication and introduces Calcium and Phosphate to help rebuild enamel.
