What Causes Salt Taste In Mouth After Heart Failure?
My father has heart failure, since june 2012, he takes warfarin amongst other things. The warfarin has been quite stable (as you know it is monitored), but of late he has had to go almost every week and has started to complain that everything tastes salty. Is this something to be concerned about?

Change in taste is a known side effect of wayfaring and it's not related to the dose or normal/abnormal level of INR, however I would assure it's not a serious or notable side effect of the drug and in most pt it weans away, however because if the pt is on it since 2012, why now had it come. Do send other medication lost to review drug interaction
