What Causes Dry Mouth After Taking Dulera?

Hello.
I've noticed I always have a dry mouth. I take multiple medications. Particularly since I began taking dulera, I have gradually noticed it seems I never feel hydrated enough. Its like I always have a dry mouth. I just began taking Dulera this year. I have never experienced dry mouth symptoms as frequent and enlongated as I have this year. My mouth is literally always dry. Its a real headache. Do u think it is Dulera?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it looks like dry mouth when you are taking Dulera that is a steroid composition is due to side effect of Dulera..

Other common causes that can cause dry mouth are Severe dehydration,
Salivary gland dysfunction,Nerve damage supplying salivary glands, Oral infections like thrush, Sjogren's Syndrome..etc..

You should consult your treating Physician and get evaluated so that he either change the drug or reduce the frequency and mount of intake..
It will help in reducing the symptoms..

As of now you can take supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like:
-For dry mouth chew sugarfree chewing gums..
-Drink plenty of water.
-Avoid regular mouthwash and use specialized mouthwash that are formulated for dry mouth patients like Biotene..
-You can also instil artificial saliva drops..
-Suck tart candies as it also stimulates saliva flow..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
