Can Myrbetriq Cause Side Effects Like Dry Gums & Lips?
the front bottom gum and my front bottom lip is very dry, feels like there is cotton there...I drink but I do not get relief...is very much interrupting my daily life. I am type two diabetic and did check my sugar. This feeling has come since my dr prescribed Myrbetriq for bladder control, could this be my problem, medication??

Hi, I had gone through your query and understood you concerns.
Sir/ Mam, Your assumption is correct. The medicine Myrbetriq which is prescribed for overactive bladder has less common and less serious side effect of Dry gums, lips dry mouth. Usually this reduces with time when the drug gets adjusted to body. But if it more than 3-4 weeks, you need to discuss this with your treating doctor regarding reducing dose or replacing the drug.
Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
