Tag: Taste perversion

According to the FDA, taste perversion (dysgeusia) was reported in clinical trials of amoxicillin, making a metallic or bad taste in your mouth when you take amoxicillin a known, albeit unpleasant, side effect. The good news is that this sensation is typically temporary and resolves once the course of treatment is completed.

According to anecdotal reports and case studies, a significant number of individuals taking Topamax (topiramate) experience a peculiar and unwelcome side effect known as dysgeusia, or taste perversion. This can drastically alter the way certain foods taste, making once-favorite items, especially carbonated drinks, taste flat or metallic. Navigating this change requires understanding the underlying cause and how to adapt your diet to minimize the impact on your quality of life.
