monopost eye drops and persistent metallic taste

[MadMorris]

does anyone have a persistent metallic taste

when using monopost eye drops?

[Reformer]

No - I use Monoprost and have no taste issues. Perhaps check for other possible reasons/other medications...

No, I use monopost and it doesn't affect my taste.

[MadMorris in reply to KayGeeBee]

I take a statin and Sertraline as well

Hello, have you tried gently pressing on the inner corner of your eye, by your nose for about a minute after putting in the eye drops. This is called punctal occlusion. If you don't do this, the drop can drain down the tear duct and into your throat, where it might cause an unpleasant taste or some side-effects.

yes I do that ! I’m wondering if it might

be sinus related?

[Carolnew in reply to MadMorris]

Did u have sinus issues before ? I had sinus problems taking monopost but changed to a different brand of Lantanoprost .which really helped ..the problem .. haven’t had any taste issues tho ..
