Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your health concerns..

As per your complain metallic taste in mouth can occur as a side effect of the new drug you are taking in the form of inhalation..

It can also be due to chemicals or minerals present in the water but in case if you are consuming the same water since long and you have developed metallic taste after taking the new drug it is most probably due to it..

I would suggest you to consult your physician and explain the immediate symptoms and the physician can change the drug by replacing it with either the old one or a new drug other than the one causing problem..

If still the problem persists then it can be due to increased chemical content in water and you will have to take measures to get the water purified before consumption..

Hope this information helps and thanks for writing to Healthcare Magic..

If you find the answer the please give a Five Star Review and click on found the answer helpful as a token of appreciation..

Thanks and regards.
