A member asked:
Is it normal for penicillin to make my food taste slightly off? this is only my second day taking it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, normal: Many drugs, including penicillin and several other antibiotics, can cause altered taste. It's harmless, so keep up with the treatment, but contact your doctor if it becomes so bad you can't stand it. It will clear up after you finish treatment.
