"I am taking amoxicillin and my mouth is dry?"

Dry mouth is a possible side effect of taking amoxicillin, although it is rare. Drinking plenty of liquids, whether cold or hot, can help alleviate this symptom. Additionally, there are various products available such as lozenges, gum, dental gel, mouth spray, and mouthwash that can help stimulate saliva production. Your pharmacist can provide information on what options are available and recommend the best one for you. If the dry mouth is due to the medication, it should improve once you complete your treatment.
