HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
These medications ( clonidine, tovok, homin and glycomet) are not normally associated with a dry cough so there is likely another cause.
The most common causes of persistent cough would be: (1)asthma
(2) post nasal drip
(3)GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
Post nasal drip is the most common . It treated by using topical steroid nasal sprays and oral anti histamine.
There are normally triggers that cause the drip, if they are known then they should be avoided.
I hope this helps
