Copaxone - dry mouth

Hi All, it’s Friday eve so I hope you all have some positivity for weekend ahead.

I have been on Copaxone for over 2 years now and one of most bothering side effects is that my mouth gets very dry.

It’s all fine during the day as I can drink to my heart content but I do suffer at night as I get woken up with my mouth being so dry that I got into habit sip some water, the entire mouthful to feel better to get back to sleep but it makes me going to the bathroom, which makes 3 trips per night. I used to be able sleep 10 hours straight but that seems to be a history now.

I’ve even purchased some toothpaste for dry mouth but that brought back my teeth sensitivity so I used it up alternating Sensodyne.

Has anyone have similar problem and have you find something working I could try?

Thank you and have a lovely weekend

There is an oral gel that treats dry mouth my mum has sjogrens and uses it for a dry mouth. It may be worth asking your gp to see whether you can get it.

Thank you for your advise, I’ll take it with my GP.
Best wishes
