Common side effects of Finacea Gel include application site reactions (burning, stinging, tingling, dryness, tightness, scaling, itching, redness, irritation), dizziness, headache, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, constipation, changes in taste, furry tongue, and dry mouth.
Candida Overgrowth. Yes, sometimes people with Candida overgrowth experience a strong metallic bitter taste as a result of the toxins it emits. I have found that taking pantethine and molybdenum helped greatly with undesirable tastes in the mouth caused by candida. Hormone Imbalance.
Bad taste and smell in mouth and nose. I have a constant odour in my right-hand sinus with associated bad taste; my normal smell and taste of food etc is not effected. It is a bitter taste/smell not very pleasant, although I am getting used to it, but some days it seems worse than others.
