Maybe a side effect of drug.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concern here.
The metallic taste in mouth can be due to side effect of drug or it may be due to pregnancy.
You should stop taking the drug and see the difference.
You should go for a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Regards
