Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Yes, the metallic taste or impaired taste sensation can be attributed to percocet (oxycodone +acetaminophen) usage.
This is not seen in all patients taking percocet. It is generally encountered in patients with high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes and in people suffering with insomnia (sleeplessness).
If you are much concerned about the metallic taste, just consult your treating doctor and ask for a different analgesic combination.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
