Hello,
As per your query you have symptoms of dry mouth and excessive thirst while on Norvasc which is very common after medication intake as it leads to fluid imbalance and stomach disturbances.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to:
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Gargle with specialized mouthwashes that are formulated for dry mouth such as containing Biotene.
- Use artificial saliva drops containing methyl-cellulose and limit intake of coffee, tea, tobacco.
- Chew sugar free chewing gums and also suck tart candies.
If the condition does not get well, then consult an oral physician once. The doctor may prescribe an alternative course of medication and can start treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
