Hi, I know this has been written 2 years ago. My husband has been complaining about the same thing. A metalic taste in his mouth. Can I ask, have you found a cure ?

Hi, @fiona1. Firstly, welcome to the forum, and thank you for posting here.

A metallic taste can sometimes happen with Parkinson’s or as a side effect of certain medications. There isn’t usually a single “cure”, but it’s worth mentioning it to your husband’s GP, Parkinson’s nurse or pharmacist in case it’s medication-related or something else treatable.

And of course, if you’d like to discuss it with someone, you can always call our free and confidential helpline on 0808 800 0303, where our trained experts and nurses can advise further. They are on hand anytime between 9am and 6pm Monday to Friday, and 10am and 1pm on Saturdays.

I hope this helps :blue_heart:
