Subj: Bitter taste
Date: 7/12/2007
Hey. I was wondering if you can help me with my situation. Sometimes I get this bitter taste in my mouth along with a white coating. Also my mouth always feel dirty dry. I brush my teeth three times a day. I asked my doctor and dentist but they really cannot do anything. Any suggestions? Remedies? Please help me out. Thanks for your patience and time.

AskDocWeb: In the morning, you might try using a tongue cleaning tool that scrapes your tongue. That could help part of the problem. Drink a lot of water during the day and when you do, use it to rinse your mouth out. Let us know if that helps.


Subj: Extremely bitter mouth and sore teeth
Date: 4/26/2008
I have been experiencing extremely bitter mouth and sore teeth. These are my meds which I feel must be the cause. I have healthy teeth with extensive crown and bridge. I have an injection every two weeks of Humira, and every week methetrexite I feel the bitter taste is coming from my stomach area, and I have read the above report and perhaps it is my tongue. The other meds are Plavix, Metformin, Enapril, Lexapro, triamt/hctz, qualaquin, and folic acid. Can any of these be the cause. If so what can I do? It really makes me unhappy. I dearly appreciate givin me some insight.

AskDocWeb: Since both Lexapro and Plavix are known to affect the sense of taste, a combination of the two may produce a uniquely unpleasant taste. The sore teeth are not likely to be related. Please consult with your dentist.


Subj: Taste perversion
Date: 7/23/2008
Is there anything to counter act a taste perversion. I took lamisil for 5 weeks when into the 3 rd week discovered my taste was changing. woe and behold for nearly 2 and half weeks everything thing I put in my mouth taste of Salt Water or Baking soda. This is the second time I have had this happen. the first time was about 10 years ago taking lamisil and wellbutin, then I suffered from 3 different taste the first of metal, about 2 weeks then 2 weeks of soap and the third one was mold. Needless to say I lost about 35 lbs and did quit smoking. I am happy about that, but now lamisil is a poisonous drug that has given me a complete salt taste, Its impossible to eat with out an overdose of salt in the palat and the taste of salt is terrible. I have lost 20 lbs in the past 2 half weeks. Anyway I want to know is there some way to counter act this perversion of any way. I am now chewing a peice of gum but it is slowly tasting of a wad of salt. I am being poisoned I am sure so I quit taking the lamisil one week now and nothing has changed. How long can I expect this to linger. How long to get out of the body system, any antidote you may know of?

Subj: Storing Tamiflu in low temperatures?
Date: 6/19/2009
Hello. The shelf life of Tamiflu as you mentioned is 5 years. Is there any way to extend this or prolong this say, storing in low temperatures (how low?)
Leovic

AskDocWeb: The lowest temperature that has been recommended for storing Tamiflu is 15°C (59°F). According to the manufacturer's Package Insert:

For the reconstitutable powder:
Store dry powder at 25ºC (77ºF); excursions permitted to 15º to 30ºC (59º to 86ºF). [See USP Controlled Room Temperature] Store constituted suspension under refrigeration at 2º to 8ºC (36º to 46ºF). Do not freeze.


Subj: How long does taste perversion last?
Date: 9/14/2009
I took Avelox for a sinus infection and now I have "taste perversion" to our water. I took it for 7 days and have been off of it for 3 days. How long should this "taste perversion" last?
Barb

AskDocWeb: It could take up to four days for the Avelox (moxifloxacin) to completely leave your system and another few days for the after effects to clear up. If you want to consult with a specialist, that would be an otolaryngologist. These physicians specialize in disorders of the head and neck, especially those related to the ear, nose, and throat.
