Funny taste in mouth 1 year out

[kimosabi1961]

Hi,I

Im almost a year into my kidney transplant, and am on the usual meds like Prednisone, etc. Ive noticed over the past 2 months that my sense of taste isn't what it use to be, with almost no taste at the front of my tounge. Can this be a med side effect? I did have some dosages changed. Thanks!

It's common to have an off taste in your mouth. I had a metallic taste for the first year or so and then improved. I take Neoral and Myfortic and was taking Prednisone too. All I can tell you is that it dos get better with time. Make sure you mention it to your transplant team at your next appointment, since it could be something else related to your meds
