5. Change Your Courses of Medication
A large number of different medications can actually cause you to get a dry mouth as one of the symptoms and it might just surprise you which of these can be responsible. Anything that alters your hormone balance, for instance, can cause a dry mouth. These include the likes of oral contraceptives in some cases.
Likewise, a medication called ‘modafinil’ that is used to treat narcolepsy (a condition that causes patients to fall asleep instantly and without warning) can also cause a dry mouth among other symptoms. So, if the dry mouth is a new thing, if it is persistent, and if you’ve started any new course of meds recently, then take a look at the list of symptoms on the packaging and ask your GP about it. You might find that there’s an alternative you can switch to and your problem will then be gone!
