A research group in the Department of Pharmacology of the University of the Basque Country has investigated the adverse reactions that antipsychotics can cause in the mouth. The study was based on data from the European pharmacovigilance database EudraVigilance and revealed that the most common problems are related to salivary flow disorders (such as excessive salivation and dry mouth), oral inflammation and tooth loss. The research is published in the journal Oral Diseases.
