A member asked:
Can low dose dexamethasone (im on 3mg a day) cause dysgeusia? cant taste salt or sweet or anything!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not listed: as a serious or common side effect but would not be surprised. I would recommend discussing a trial off the medication with the prescriber, if safe, and see if the dysguesia resolves.
