Levothyroxine

I've been on it for 10 years and not experienced this.

I’ve been on it for more than 40 years, doses between 125mcg and 75mcg. I’ve never noticed the side effect you mention.

I've been on it for over 20 years, 100mcg. Never experienced any problems.

I've been on it getting on for nearly 30 years 150mcg. I can't say I've ever noticed that either.

I've been on it ...75 mcg for over 40 years and have never noficed this

Thank you for replies so far. It’s not a known side effect, but some people have reported having a dry mouth, mine isn’t. The best description is metallic like, but not like blood metallic if that makes sense? I don’t have a sense of taste so it’s difficult to be more descriptive. Unfortunately I can’t get to a pharmacist and we only have a dispensary at our surgery with the dispensers knowing very little about individual medication.

On it for 30 years. No problem.

As above posters said . Could you describe the taste more?

Both my daughters take Levothyroxine one takes 50mgm the other one 125mgm and their breath does not smell. Hope you can sort it out soon.

I’ve been on various dosages of Levothyroxine over the years and never experienced this. It’s certainly not a known common side effect. I would speak to a Pharmacist or your GP if this persists.
