Title: dry mouth
Post by bigAl on Apr 8^th, 2005, 9:29pm

Does anyone else get severe dry mouth at might when using Verapamil?

Any suggestions? http://www.med.wayne.edu/dermatology/MichDerm%20Online%202002/11A%20WOMAN%20WITH%20ORAL%20LESIONS%20AND%20DRY%20MOUTH%20AND%20EYES_files/image002.jpg

I'm using verpamil and sometimes my mouth is dry. But in my case simply a glass of water helps, so it's not that severe.

Verapamil definitely has a "drying"effect, which is why is probably also causes severe ... severe .... constipation!

See the tip to the left regarding Water X 3. When in cycle, I'm constantly sucking on water, water, water. It definitly helps dry mouth, but only stool softeners help that damned constipation!

Keep a good supply of hard candy on hand and brush your teeth more often so the extra sugar doesn't cause other trouble.
