Can methyldopa cause dry mouth or other anticholinergic effects and what are the underlying mechanisms and management strategies for these side effects?
Methyldopa can indeed cause dry mouth among other anticholinergic effects, possibly due to its indirect influence on central neurotransmitter systems. Management strategies include adequate hydration and use of sugar-free lozenges.
