Evaluation of antibiotic-induced taste and smell disorders using the FDA adverse event reporting system database

Abstract Adverse effects can occur owing to anorexia, which can reduce treatment compliance and worsen the patients overall condition. One such side effect, namely drug-induced taste and smell disorders, reduces patients quality of life. Although antibiotics can cause taste and smell disorders, a fe...
