There are few case reports claiming calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine also cause dysgeusia by blocking calcium sensitive taste buds. (wikipedia.org)
Supplements like those for zinc and iron may also cause dysgeusia. (evdental.com)
Mucositis1
One study discusses the prevalence and etiology of three broad categories of oral complications found during the treatment of cancer patients: mucositis, dysgeusia, and infectious disease. (dentistryiq.com)
Parageusia2
Dysgeusia, also known as parageusia, is a distortion of the sense of taste. (wikipedia.org)
Classically, burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is accompanied by gustatory disturbances (dysgeusia, parageusia) and subjective xerostomia. (medscape.com)
Xerostomia1
Case report: A 31-year-old woman who underwent routine tonsillectomy presented with progressive numbness of the palate, dysgeusia, xerostomia, paraesthesia of the tongue and the feeling of something in her throat within 2 weeks of surgery. (uea.ac.uk)
Symptoms3
Due to the variety of causes of dysgeusia, there are many possible treatments that are effective in alleviating or terminating the symptoms of dysgeusia. (wikipedia.org)
Over time, her symptoms have lessened, but dysgeusia and snoring remain. (uea.ac.uk)
Anecdotal evidence is rapidly accumulating from sites around the world that anosmia and dysgeusia are significant symptoms associated with the COVID-19 pandemic," the American Academy of Otolaryngology said in a statement. (bgr.com)
Headache1
These included headache, dysgeusia, and fatigue. (urologytimes.com)
Decreased appetite1
Other common side effects were fever, decreased appetite and dysgeusia-a persistent, foul taste in the mouth. (biospace.com)
Diarrhea1
Through an updated review, a practical appraisal was considered as a means of providing a medical nexus of therapeutic zinc regimens as an adjunct in the management of COVID-19-related diarrhea and ageusia/dysgeusia. (nih.gov)
Distortions1
Distortions in the taste buds may give rise to dysgeusia. (wikipedia.org)
Distortion1
Dysgeusia is a distortion of gustation (e.g., a normally pleasant tastant is perceived as unpleasant) or the spontaneous perception of a taste for which there is no chemosensory stimulus. (nih.gov)
Anosmia2
Loss of smell and taste - called anosmia and dysgeusia, respectively - are easily noticed by those who experience them. (bgr.com)
The loss of smell (anosmia/hyposmia) and taste (dysgeusia) does appear to be associated with COVID-19, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery recently said. (wkyc.com)
Ageusia1
Dysgeusia is also often associated with ageusia, which is the complete lack of taste, and hypogeusia, which is a decrease in taste sensitivity. (wikipedia.org)
Dysosmia5
This Request for Applications (RFA), Dysosmia and Dysgeusia: Mechanisms, Assessment, and Treatment, is related to the priority area of nutrition. (nih.gov)
Dysosmia and dysgeusia occur commonly and may or may not be associated with a loss of chemosensory sensitivity. (nih.gov)
Dysosmia and dysgeusia may occur spontaneously or only be evoked by chemosensory stimuli in the environment. (nih.gov)
Dysosmia and dysgeusia can impair food intake and, consequently, nutritional status. (nih.gov)
Few studies have been reported on the systematic assessment and treatment of dysosmia and dysgeusia, and difficulties in determining their causal mechanisms have hindered etiologic and anatomic diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. (nih.gov)
Mouth4
Idiopathic dysgeusia has frequently been associated with another disorder of oral sensation, burning mouth syndrome. (nih.gov)
Dysgeusia refers to a metallic or distorted taste in the mouth and can be attributed to many causes. (evdental.com)
This often results in secondary burning mouth syndrome, which, in turn leads to dysgeusia. (evdental.com)
Because dry mouth results in less salivation, bacteria can build up in the mouth and can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, which are common causes of dysgeusia. (evdental.com)
Chemotherapy5
Common causes of dysgeusia include chemotherapy, asthma treatment with albuterol, and zinc deficiency. (wikipedia.org)
A major cause of dysgeusia is chemotherapy for cancer. (wikipedia.org)
It has been reported that 50% of chemotherapy patients have had either dysgeusia or another form of taste impairment. (wikipedia.org)
Examples of chemotherapy treatments that can lead to dysgeusia are cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, vismodegib, and etoposide. (wikipedia.org)
The exact mechanism of chemotherapy-induced dysgeusia is unknown. (wikipedia.org)
Common1
Dysgeusia is fairly common from an assortment of differing chemo drugs. (cancer.org)
Zinc2
Another primary cause of dysgeusia is zinc deficiency. (wikipedia.org)
While the exact role of zinc in dysgeusia is unknown, it has been cited that zinc is partly responsible for the repair and production of taste buds. (wikipedia.org)
Patients1
Accordingly, aims of the present study were to use a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genes associated with the development of dysgeusia in patients taking anti-cancer drugs and to predict the development of dysgeusia using associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). (nih.gov)
Loss2
Based on their findings, dysgeusia results from loss of microvilli and the reduction of Type III intracellular vesicles, all of which could potentially interfere with the gustatory pathway. (wikipedia.org)
I am responding to your loss-of-taste (dysgeusia) inquiry. (cancer.org)
Drug1
Dysgeusia is a major side effect of anti-cancer drug treatment. (nih.gov)
Disease1
Liver disease, hypothyroidism, and rarely certain types of seizures can also lead to dysgeusia. (wikipedia.org)
Drugs3
Different drugs could also be responsible for altering taste and resulting in dysgeusia. (wikipedia.org)
There are also a wide variety of drugs that can trigger dysgeusia, including zopiclone, H1-antihistamines, such as azelastine and emedastine. (wikipedia.org)
Drugs that act by blocking the renin - angiotensin - aldosterone system, for example by antagonizing the angiotensin II receptor (as eprosartan does), have been linked to dysgeusia. (wikipedia.org)
