I have developed a terrible metallic taste in my mouth. I have been taking hydroxychloroquine for well over a year. Doctor says it is unlikely that it is the culprit but I can't find anything else. Another doctor says it is probably due to acid reflux but I am not so sure. I am to be treated with 40 mg of omeprazole per day.
Does hydroxychloroquine cause metallic taste in mouth?

I Googled this same exact thing and came upon your question. I’ve been on it for maybe 2 months and the metallic taste is sudden and very unpleasant. Did you find any answers or any relief?
