Does mucinex (guaifenesin) affect a dry mouth?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Chew gum.: Mucinex (Guaifenesin) may cause dry mouth (xerostomia) in some patients. If you feel that your mouth is drier than usual, try chewing sugarless/sugar free gum or candy to help stimulate your salivary flow.
