Yes, antihistamines can cause dryness as a common side effect. They work by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms, which can also lead to reduced secretions in mucus membranes. This effect can result in dry mouth, dry eyes, and dry nasal passages. It's important for individuals using antihistamines to stay hydrated and be aware of these potential side effects.
