Metallic taste
Everyday seems to bring a new side effect for my husband. Any suggestions for the metallic taste in his mouth? Is this the incevik or the other two? You have all been so helpful on his other symptoms- we really appreciate it!

I like the frozen fruit Popsicles for the metallic taste- strawberry is okay but love, love the lemon ones.

Citrus or tart flavors help; I've also been a gummi bear addict lately; I've had the metallic taste for the past 5 months-ugh!
Biotine mouth wash for dry mouth seem to help me somewhat. I have had metallic taste all through tx and now at week 20 it's getting worse! Who would have guessed!

My husband's specialty pharmacy also suggested red meat, marinated meat, and food at cooler temperatures.
