Brief Answer:
Are you taking any medications?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and than you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this dry mouth that you have reported. I will like to know how long this has been going on. The most common cause of dry mouth are medications. If you are on any medications, please report to me so that I can review and make sure it is not a side effect of a drug you are taking. Another possibility could be diabetes or other diseases. How often do you urinate and do you feel you urinate more often than usual and in larger volumes?

For now, sip water as often as required to relief this discomfort. Fresh fruits help increase saliva secretion and relief symptoms as well.

I hope to hear from you and would provide my final thoughts when you must have provided some more details about your drugs and the questions above.

Brief Answer:
Dry mouth is a rare side effect of naltrexone!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

One of the reported side effects of naltrexone is dry mouth. Though this is not common, it does happens. If this has been going on for as long as you started this new medication, then it is more likely. However, this is not life threatening and we would want to be rather progressive and logical than going aggressive immediately. That is why I will opt for observation and palliative measures at this time than comprehensive testing.

And please, for how long has this been going on?

Until then, I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
I recommend fresh fruits and sip water often for now!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this precision.

At this time, I will recommend fresh fruits and frequent water sips. I am of the thinking that this would soon be over. Unless it gets worse or persist like for more than 6weeks, I will not start aggressive investigations. Keep me updated on how this is progressing and together we would review and make the necessary adjustments and management as need be.

I wish you well.
