Can levothyroxine cause dry mouth?

Hello, I recently started taking levothyroxine to treat my hypothyroidism. I observed after starting levothyroxine I started having a dry mouth. I even wake up with a dry mouth and during the day also. I started drinking water a lot. Should I be concerned? Please tell me Is it because of levothyroxine or diabetes?
