Metallic Taste In Mouth After Started Taking Prednisone And Plaquenil. Is It Due To Medicines?
I have recently started taking both prednisone (5mg per day) and plaquenil and in the last week or so have noticed a strange taste in my mouth which is there al the time. It is affecting the taste of everything I eat and drink. Drinks particularly taste metallic.
Could this be caused by one of these medications?
