I am about to start Mepron and have a question. I took a tiny amount of it the other day.
When I did, the tip of my tongue really burned. It didn't last long, but I wonder if this is common?
I hope this is not a sign of an allergy.
I ate chips and salsa the other day and noticed that, again, the tip of my tongue was very sensitive to the salsa.
I don't have any white spots on my tongue. I take an anti-fungal as well as a good probitic.
I am also on Bactrim and other supplements as advised by my LLMD.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much! I hope you're all doing well. jwick25

I do get a funny sensation on my tongue after taking Mepron, it's hard to describe, but it's never felt like burning.

Sometimes my tongue is a little numb, but most of the time there's no side effect.
I never thought Mepron did much for me, but now realize that over the months that I've been on it, my symptoms have disappeared. I love Mepron!

One other question...
I'm having a hard time measuring out my exact dose. I have a medical dosing spoon and dropper.
The problem is that the Mepron hardens so soon after leaving the bottle. When I pour the amount into the spoon or get it with the dropper,
within seconds it sticks to the inside of either. I'm then getting less than my dose.
Any suggestions? I was told not to use a kitchen measuring spoon...only a medication dosing spoon.

My tongue gets a burning sensation when taking mepron. However a burning tongue is also a symptom I have of one of these tick infections. Comes and goes. I shake my mepron gently and use a plain ole measuring teaspoon. Little more or a little less wouldn't be significant enough to matter.

Thank you, zil.
I might just do that, as I'm definitely not getting the exact dose the way I'm currently doing things.
Feel well!

I use a kitchen measuring spoon.
I then poor it into a tiny glass bowl, a mix it together with some peanut butter.
TASTES GREAT!!!!!
and my LLMD said that was okay, since Mepron works much better when taken with fat.
I use a Kitchen spatula/scraper to get every little bit out of the bowl so that none is wasted at all!
