Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Fasigyn ( which contains the drug tinidazole) is known to cause a bitter taste in the mouth. It will also cause some amount of abdominal discomfort and distaste for food. Food articles will not taste the same while one is on this therapy.These symptoms will persist for approximately a week following cessation of therapy.

I hope I have answered your query. I will be available for follow up queries.

Regards
