Can Mounjaro cause dry throat, especially at night?

Yes, dry mouth and throat (xerostomia) is a commonly reported side effect with Mounjaro. This is due to the mechanism of action of the drug, which can affect water-electrolyte balance and slow stomach emptying, which in some patients intensifies the symptoms of dehydration or night reflux.

At night, this symptom can be more bothersome due to naturally lower saliva production and breathing through the mouth. To alleviate this discomfort, I recommend increasing your fluid intake during the day, using preparations that moisturize the throat mucosa (e.g. with Icelandic lichen or hyaluronic acid) and taking care of the proper humidity in the bedroom.

I encourage you to inform your doctor about any symptoms you experience and about any side effects of the drug. Reporting such cases allows for better control over the safety of the preparations used. For more information on how and why you should report side effects, please refer to our article:
