Dizziness, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, stomach pain, dry/itchy skin, acne, and dry mouth may occur after taking trametinib. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist right away. To relieve dry mouth, suck on (sugar-free) hard candy or ice cubes, chew (sugar-free) gum, drink water, or use a saliva substitute.
Mouth and throat pain or sores may also occur. Brush your teeth carefully/gently, avoid alcohol-based mouthwashes, and rinse your mouth often with cold water mixed with baking soda or salt. It is best to eat soft, moist foods.
