Some individuals who take milk of magnesia can deal with dry mouth as a side effect. If they experience dry mouth when taking milk of magnesia, it is a sign that they are dehydrated. If dry mouth is mild, patients can likely continue taking milk of magnesia if they increase the amount of water they are drinking to compensate for the fluids they are losing. However, if patients are experiencing severe dry mouth, they should stop taking milk of magnesia and increase their water intake. In addition, severe dry mouth, and therefore severe dehydration, may require medical attention.
