Dear Sir/ madam
Thanks for your query to us.
Both these drugs tramodol and tinazidine are known to cause dryness of mouth in 3-10% of patients depending upon duration of use. If you are giving both the drugs, chances are even higher, especially in old age. Best way out is to discuss it out with your physician and get alternate medicines. There are artificial agents which can maintain wetness of mouth and can get them prescribed from dermatologists.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
