Press Release: Beating Back Bitter Taste in Medicine

#bitter #taste #monell #medicine
The bitter taste of certain drugs is a barrier to taking some medications as prescribed, especially for people who are particularly sensitive to bitter taste. Published in Clinical Therapeutics, a team from the Monell Chemical Senses Center found that the diabetes drug rosiglitazone could partially block the bitter taste of some especially bad-tasting medications. Rosiglitazone could be added in small doses to other medicines, to make them less bitter and taste better.
Listen to Drs. Danielle R. Reed and Ha Nguyen talk about their recently published research.
