Deep dives
Common Causes of Metallic Taste
Medications are a primary reason for experiencing a metallic taste in the mouth, particularly those like antibiotics, antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and some chemotherapy drugs. This side effect can develop over time and may not correlate directly with the start of the medication. It's important to assess changes that occurred in the months leading up to the onset of this taste. Consulting with a healthcare provider can help identify if any medications may be the underlying cause, especially if combined with other symptoms.
