Common Side Effects: These medications all can have the side effects of decreasing salivary flow. Consider artificial saliva as a temporary fix. Do not use sugar containing mints or hard candy to stimulate salivary flow as that can cause rampant decay. Consider getting back to the physician for alteration of your medications that is better tolerated by your system.
