Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suffer From Pancreatitis After Long Term Use Of Lipitor. White Coated Tongue, Altered Taste In The Mouth. Recovery?
I have pancreatitis as a side effect of long term lipitor use. We are dealing with the pancreatitis with medications and a low fat (and b-o-r-i-n-g) diet until things clear up. Still feeling a lot of malaise and having trouble with appetite. Now I have a white coated tongue, some days worse than others. Mouth tastes like the bottom of a bird cage (no direct knowledge of actual bird cage bottom). Is this just part of the process that will go away when the pancreas heals?
Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic. Thank you for your querry. Well, now I wonder too how bird cage bottom tastes. You should change your drug earlier. There are many statines without such side effects. Coated tongue an dabnormal taste arent sign of pancreatitis but also side effects of lipitor. So just be patient few more weeks till your digestion stabilize. Wish you good health.
