Yes but i dont care about the other pills .. I asked specifically about the diet pills (ex Ab Slim ) and asked about the reason why do it cause mouth dehydration

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Ab Slim and other similar appetite suppressants stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, which can raise blood pressure and heart rate. This increases the risk of heart attack and cardiac arrest, especially among people who already suffer from high blood pressure, irregular heart rate, and coronary artery disease. Other, more minor side effects include constipation, headache, dry mouth and insomnia (because the chemicals in these drugs also influence sleep patterns).
