The samples were then incubated with protein A/G agarose beads at 25C for 2 hours
[1] [3] This distinguishes semaglutide from some medications that may contribute to dry mouth, such as SGLT2 inhibitors (which can cause dehydration through increased urination) or anticholinergic medications (which directly reduce salivary flow)
Some may have mild headaches or dizziness in the beginning, which usually go away with time
Noteworthy, due to the multifactorial nature of xerostomia, any association between semaglutide and reduced salivary function must be interpreted with caution until controlled studies accounting for metabolic, autoimmune, neurological, pharmacologic, and age-related confounders are available
