Ageusia as a side effect of therapy with sertralin - a case report (zoloft)

Ageusia is a constant, atypical taste disorder brought on by illness, chemotherapy or certain medications. The scientific literature reports a large liste of medications that can cause taste disturbances. The impact of such symptoms can be very variable depending on the intensity, severity and duration of medicinal tretaments. In the log term, a medicated dysgeusia affects largely the quality of life of the patient. Number of medicines can affect the taste if we considers the dysgeusia as a possible consequence of xerostomia induced by medicines. This paper describes a 42-year old female patient who treated with sertralin. About a four months ago she developed loss of taste sensation. 10 days later the patient did not take a sertralin. At the time she reported return of taste sensation. After 10 days she started taking sertralin again, following which she had loss of taste sensation.
