A member asked:

I finished prevpac (lansoprazole amoxicillin and clarithromycin) 2 months ago and i still get a metallic taste in my mouth.is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metallic Taste: that taste from medication should certainly be gone. One of the other top reasons for this taste is blood, due to the iron in it. May be bleeding from your nose. Time to see your doc and be evaluated.
