Is Lack Of Taste Despite What Food I Eat Because Of The Various Medications I Take?
Question: Have noticed that food has less taste lately. Do not smoke, do take various med. Wondered if it's just that?
Brief Answer:
Probably a side effect of medications that you are already taking.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Loss of taste has been often a side effect of medications.
In your case I think that it can be related to amlodipine medication.
This side effect of amlodipine is very common.
So, I suggest you to consult your cardiologist about this side effect and maybe take an alternative medication.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
