Clopidogrel

[Holywellbay]

I am taking clopidogrel and have a bitter taste in my mouth. Could it be a side effect

[Hidden]

Not direct but yes as plavix is know offender to increase stomach acids so ots ur acids which are causing bitter taste. Take 15/30 mg lansprozole in morning before breakfast

[Holywellbay in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for your reply. I have been taking lansanprozole for three weeks and it hasn’t helped.

Hi Holywell bay, you're quite near me, I have been taking clopidogrel for over 3 years, and haven't noticed a bitter taste with them, I also take a tablet for an ulcer among others, which has now healed to keep down stomach acid so that maybe some of the cause, speak to your GP.

Thank you for your reply. I am taking lansoprozole but only for three weeks it hasn’t helped.

I have been taking clopidogrel for 19 years and have never experienced any problems with taste. Are you taking any vitamins?

[Holywellbay in reply to Buscaglia]

Yes I take Vit D and magnesium

[Buscaglia in reply to Holywellbay]

I looked this up. Both supplements can leave a metallic or bitter taste. I take both and don't have a funny taste. Google these vitamins and taste. Could possibly be the vitamins

[Holywellbay in reply to Buscaglia]

Will do thank you for your reply

[Buscaglia in reply to Holywellbay]

You are welcome. Hope it helps

Hi Trishe, I have been on Clopidogrel for just over two years along with other meds and vitamins, also B12 injections, but have not had anything like you are describing. Sorry I can’t help.
