hypogeusia Jun 19, 2003 For 5 weeks I have been having a foul taste (hypogeusia), possible caused by taking Glucophage for 2 months. I stopped taking Glucophage 5 weeks ago, but problem continues. Do you have any idea how long this may last, or is there a cure for this? |

 Taste disturbances can occur in as many as 3% people taking Glucophage (metformin). It shold resolve when the drug is stopped. Other causes of taste abnormalities could include any type of lesion on the mouth, dental problems, or the use of Ritonavir or Kaletra. The latter two medications are lipid-based and can be absorbed directly in the mouth, causing the changes in taste. You should review all of your remaining medications with your doctor and have him/her take a good look in your mouth. Have you seen a dentist lately? Perhaps the answer lkies in one or more of these issues. Good Luck!!! | ||||||||
