This from the FDA Chlorhexidine monograph http://www.drugs.com/pro/periogard.html
"Some patients may experience an alteration in taste perception while undergoing treatment with a chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse. Rare instances of permanent taste alteration following chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse use have been reported via postmarketing surveillance. "
I would see your dentist or Oral surgeon.

Yes, I was prescribed this mouthwash by my dentist. I was prescribed the mouthwash as a result of deep gum laser surgery and also had root canal done/performed on two teeth. The mouthwash tastes quite bitter & nasty and does stain your teeth. Additionally, when I swallowed a little bit, it made me nauseated! I will be very happy when I finish this prescription, and will go back to my regular ACT mouthwash!
