I’ve been on 5 mg of Mavacampten since 11-22-23. In 4 weeks my valve returned to normal! I’m 77 and this was just discovered when I had a heart attack.
This thread is helpful in that I have had changes in taste.
I’ve been returning food to the market as being spoiled when, as I read here, it is a change due to Mevacamptan, Fish, coffee, veal…..so far.
I will report this to Squibb and the supplier of the drug as suggested by deanna529

Hello there @bigbdmama, and a warm welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm so happy to hear that you have discovered the benefits of this wonderful online community. I'm especially happy that @deanna529 was able to give you a good suggestion to report these strange and yucky side effects to BMS.
It must have been surprising to find out you have HOCM, and after a heart attack to boot!
Four weeks is a relatively short time, when did you first notice your "taster" was off?
