For two weeks I have had a big decrease in taste. I have no loss of smell or sinus problems.

Good evening ma'am,
Sorry first for the delay in response.
Yes, it is possible. What medication have you been taking recently?
64 -year-old man · 4 years ago
I am taking dexilant and also I am participating in a study on osteoarthritis of the knee with the bone disease research group in Quebec City and the drug is Eudra ct I believe. The dexilant I have been taking for about 3 months and the study since March 2019

Thank you for these details.
Dexilant™ is linked to a mild risk of dysgeusia (< 2%, everything tastes bad), which is not quite the situation you describe.
So I invite you to discuss this situation with the research team. Since it is impossible for me to know exactly the identity of the drug, and since it is up to the research team to document such effects, it is highly recommended that you report this possible side effect.
It is my pleasure,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
