Can Simvastatin Make My Tongue Taste Like Metal?

had my eardrum worked on not long ago and some deadner got on my tongue. thought that might be why my tongue now tastes bad like metal but also started simvastatin about 2 months ago, which would be more likely to cause this metal taste. both events happened around same time.

Hi
Thanks for your query
I can feel your concern
yes it can change the taste of mouth, you should do gargles and take some green tea I recommend to have a proper clinical examination.
Hope it helps
Wishing a speedy recovery
