http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28453 I was prescribed Biaxin for a sinus infection and I was only able to take it for 3 days (out of a 10 day prescription) because of the ungodly taste it left in my mouth. I couldn't sleep at night because the taste of hot garbage in my mouth would wake me up.

It's a good description of the taste though, that's for sure! I have no idea why it tastes so vile. I find chewing gum or lozenges help. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28453?item=9121
