Is a metallic taste in your mouth a potential normal side effect of taking clindamycin?

Yes, metallic taste has been reported as a possible side effect to clindamycin. Other possible sources for your symptom cannot be ruled out and your treating physician remains your best resource in case the taste changes after completing your clindamycin course.
