If I have a bitter taste in my mouth after Octeangin, should I stop it?
Good morning, with angina, the doctor prescribed me in addition to the antibiotic, octeangin sucking every 6 hours. However, a side effect after taking this medicine is a very bitter taste in the mouth that lasts for many hours. My question is, should I stop taking Octeangin in this case?

I will also add that it was the first time my body reacted to medication in such a way. I'm 74 years old, maybe that's also the reason.
I was prescribed Octeangin I was supposed to suck 6*1 a day. On the second day, after 1 tablet, I had a gag reflex and the impression that my throat reacts badly and starts to hurt more. And the bitter-eucalyptus taste lasted for a few hours, plus no appetite for anything. The situation was made even worse by the antibiotic Fromilid Uno 500.Tomorrow I'm going back to the doctor. I just totally didn't like these drugs for me.
I had the same thing, I tried different ways to get rid of the bitterness and brushing my teeth worked best. The doctor, after reporting the problem to him, simply does not prescribe me octeangin anymore.
Keep sucking until you feel the sweetness🤪

A bitter taste in the mouth is one of the side effects of Octeangin. It usually resolves when you stop using the medicine. However, because it is a prescription preparation, the doctor should decide about its discontinuation. Please remember that side effects of medicines should always be reported to the doctor - you can read about why this is important here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleadvice here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja Bitterness can be soothed, for example, with flavored lozenges with a throat moisturizing effect.
