Side Effects of Mavacamten (Camzyos)

Posted by deanna529 @deanna529, Nov 16, 2023

I was on Mavacamten (Camzyos) for 6 months. It immediately triggered Burning Mouth Syndrome, Chronic Lingual Papilitis, and a metal taste in my mouth. I have never had this before. I had to stop the drug because this was worse than HOCM. Quality of life was awful. I couldn't taste anything. Reported it to Bristol Meyers Squib. It had only been on the market for 1 1/2 years when I tried it. At least it is documented.
Has anyone had any bad side effects on Mavacamten?

Hi I’m on Camzyos 6 months now I have had a hard lump on my lip for 2months now and just started to see another one start i’m thinking it’s coming from the Camzyos as a side effect. I will be going to a dermatologist sometime next week. I’m also on Metoprolol 100 mg has anyone else had a breakout around their mouth from Camzyos
