Wytensin Oral Side Effects

Drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, and weakness may occur. Less common side effects may include headache, stuffy nose, dry eyes, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain/discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, and unusual taste in the mouth. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

To relieve dry mouth, suck on (sugarless) hard candy or ice chips, chew (sugarless) gum, drink water, or use a saliva substitute. To help prevent constipation, eat adequate fiber, drink plenty of fluids, and exercise. If constipation occurs, ask your pharmacist for help selecting a laxative.
