Aftertaste

[TripleCrown]

Any hints as to helping to alleviate this horrifying aftertaste from the boceprevir? It tastes like the back of my tongue is an old tin can...

Ginger chews are good for nausea! Another thing is Canadian mints peppermint. Somedays nothing works

I swish my mouth with Biotene several times a day.  Available where mouthwashes are at drug store.  Helps alot.

I find junior mints work well

It's no fun n I can't find anything that works either. Almost thru w Telaprevir n hoping it'll go away!

Hi.  My nurse said -- Big Red Gum -- really.  People in the forum have mentioned -- sour hard candies.  Not sure if Ginger Chews (from Trader Joe's) would help, but it's worth a try since they are pretty powerful.  Good luck.

Not much you can do from my experience with victrelis. Good luck with treatment.
