Good morning, I am finishing using the 2nd package of Xerostemin, for me it only works for max 15 minutes.
Why is it so ineffective, like fresh water flows down the throat and nothing.

Xerostemin is designed to moisturize the mucous membranes, but in the case of advanced dryness and severe xerostomia (e.g. after radio- or chemotherapy, in autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome, or as a side effect of drugs) it may be too weak. This preparation works mainly on the surface, so it may not give long-term relief in people with very low salivation. In addition, due to the rapid flow into the throat, it may not have time to work effectively.
You may consider another preparation, e.g. in the form of a gel, which will last longer on the mucous membranes (e.g. Xerostom):

In addition, during the day, you can stimulate salivation by sucking on sour candies (without sugar), drinking water in small sips throughout the day or sucking on an ice cube or a slice of lemon.
It is worth seeing a doctor to identify the cause (if not already known) of xerostomia. Then you can act on the cause, not just alleviate the symptoms.
