The doctor prescribed pecto driill 750mg once a day in a bundle with mucus running down the throat, suspecting chronic sinusitis, which is manifested by dry mouth at night. Will this drug not intensify this dryness and did not the doctor mistake with such a dosage?

I suppose you have received lozenges - one tablet contains 750 mg of the active substance. The average dosage is one tablet three times a day, and when a "satisfactory response to treatment occurs, the dosage should be reduced to one tablet twice daily." This does not mean that the doctor cannot recommend a lower dose if he thinks it will be sufficient. In case of doubt, it is best to contact directly the doctor who consulted you. Pectodrill dilutes dense secretions - it is used in the symptomatic treatment of respiratory diseases proceeding with excessive production of dense and viscous secretions. Carbocysteine (the active ingredient of the drug) affects the composition (amount and type of glycoproteins) of bronchial secretions, but not its amount. Dry mouth is not mentioned as a possible side effect of the drug, properly used preparation should not cause such an effect.
