Ask your doctor : Numerous diseases and medications can influence the salivary glands resulting in dry mouth. Sometimes the medications can be reduced or changed to help you with this side effect. It is not uncommon. Talk to your doctor. There are also things that you can do to aid the symptoms of dry mouth.

Dry mouth: Your medications can cause dry mouth. Dry mouth can lead to cavities so good dental care is important. Biotene products can help your mouth feel better. Avoid mouthwashes with alcohol, they can dry it even more. Chew xylitol or sugar free gum can stimulate saliva. Reduce highly acidic and sugary foods and drinks. See your dentist for mi paste or fluoride. Hope this helps.
