Top tip from my sister.
I take a fair number of pills so get that metallic taste in my mouth.
Mentioned to my sister who mentioned to a friend who takes lots of pills.
Her top tip - keep a supply of pineapple cubes in fridge.
Works for me - if I'm fed up with taste, down a couple of cubes - presto.
I take fresh pineapple cubes - don't know if tinned works.
Anyhoo thought to mention!

I don't get a metallic taste with pills but I get a bad taste lots of times. I should try that.

Thanks for the advice, robbi! Like quietgirl, I don't get a specifically metallic taste from meds, but they do taste unpleasant. I also get a dry mouth from them, so the pineapple remedy sounds like a good idea.
