Singulair, Montelukast, Dry Mouth

I tried Singulair but it caused me extremely dry mouth, so much so that despite the medication's benefits I don't know if I want to continue using it.
Does this side effect of dry mouth wear off with continued use of Singulair?
If so, after how long?

Hello, Shira! How are you?

Yes, side effects are usually transient and taper off in severity, then go away entirely, once your body gets used to a medication. It usually takes about 4 to 5 weeks.

Other typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly including headache, dizziness, joint pain, sweating and constipation.

Sometimes sucking on mints or candies can help, or regularly sipping some water.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thanks for your reply, I do have some other questions:
Can the benefits of Singulair also wear off in time?
How long is it possible to continue taking Singulair on a daiily basis?
Many thanks,
Shira
