Brief answer...I have not heard that piozone can cause loss of taste in a person Detailed answer... Hello, Thanks for the query. I do understand the problem being faced by your mother but the fact is that piozone doesn't cause loss of taste.It may temporarily cause metallic taste in the mouth but this should have gone completely after stopping the medication. In fact there are various causes for such a loss of taste and it requires a careful examination and investigation by an ENT doctor. The causes may include... Diabetes and hypothyroidism in itself can cause loss of taste. Deficiency of VIT B 3 and zinc Use of drugs like ACE inhibitors for blood pressure,antibiotics and anti histamines Natural aging of the person Local dental problem or poor oral hygeine Neurological problems like parkinson and alzheimer Upper respiratory tract and middle ear infections Use of tobacco or ill fitting denture. Treatment would require .. Consulting a ENT for diagnosing the problem Controlling your diabetes and hypothyroidism Carefully looking at the list of medications being used and removing the offending drug and using some substitute for it. Giving adequate Zinc and B complex vitamins Using aromatic herbs and spices to XXXXXXX up the flavour of food,without increasing the sugar and salt content. I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query. Best of luck Thanks
