Eligard and loss of taste

I have been on Eligard since the end of December 2023 and finished 28 IMRT sessions for my Gleason 9 non-metastatic PC Besides the usual loss of libido, fatigue and hot flushes, I have also experienced a diminished ability to taste. I also have this change in my tongue and mouth with a yukky taste.

Has anyone else experienced this, and if so does it go away after you quit the treatment? For me it is a real QOL issue.

I have similar but don’t attribute it to hormone therapy. It came after a bout with a cold or flu but did not test positive for Covid. I was on hormone therapy for 9 months.
