Address Taste Disturbances to Prevent Med Adherence Issues

February 2017

Which meds can cause taste disturbances?

ACE inhibitors (captopril, etc) and ARBs (losartan, etc) can dull taste...or cause a constant bitter, metallic, salty, or sweet taste.

Many eye drops (dorzolamide, azelastine, etc) and nasal sprays (fluticasone, mometasone, etc) can drain into the back of the nose and throat...causing an unpleasant taste.
