Do Plavix (Clopidogrel) and Oxycodoneare Cause a Copper Afte
Posted: 03-06-06 12:57pm

Last week I underwent a centuple bypass. Plavik and Oxycodone/APAP were perscribed.

I now have a taste disorder which I have not been able to get information about.

Sweets take on a bad copper taste in my mouth. I had dies added introvenously during a catherization and a kidney ultrasound.

Do you know which drug or drugs are doing this? Is it temporary?

Thanks,
Bill Strickland

Neither of the drugs Plavix (Clopidogrel) and Oxycodoneare have been reported to cause copper taste in the mouth. It would seem that this effect is temporary and may manifest through another cause.
