I have suffered from recurring health probelems for a while, which have messed up my glandular system, leaving me with a constantly dry mouth. Plus, I am currently using a medication which adversely affects my saliva production. There is a remedy - artificial saliva! Sounds revolting, but it is actually a pleasant flavoured (lemon or mint) substance which keeps your moist more efficiently than endless glasses of water and, as far as I know, has no adverse effect on brass reeds. The brand I use is called Glandosane and comes in a 50ml aerosol - just right to keep next to you on stage. I'm sure there are other brands - ask your doctor.
