Can The Medicine, Lansoprazole, Cause Bitterness In Mouth?

I have developed a bitter taste in my mouth for the last two years. Taking Lansoprazole for two years did not help (my side-effects have been incredible pain in the hands, increased heart rate up to 90 beats per min and sometimes pain in stomach). What else could cause my bitter taste in mouth? Mrs Fraser (age 58)

Hi,

Side effect due to lansoprazole. Lansoprazole is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor commonly prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure.

Its common side effects include dry cough, high blood potassium level, swelling of the lips/eyes and altered taste perception. Advised an alternate effective but a safer blood pressure lowering medicine after consulting your doctor.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
