Odor Of Eliminations While Taking Eliquis (Page 5)
(Newest replies first)

I hate to be indelicate but I have noticed something strange since taking Eliquis. My urine and bowel movements smell different and I wondered if anyone else had noticed this. I would describe it as sort of a toasted oaty fragrance. I am not making this up or being weird. I am concerned and hope I am not along.

Yes do you smell with eloquest or any of these types of drugs will cause a terrible urinary smell and sometimes even boils we have not found any way to fix the problem except stop taking Eliquis thank you

Yes, this is going on with me. Coffee tastes awful & everything is different. I'm going to tell my Dr. tomorrow to take me off of Eliquis.

I've changed from eliquis to xarelto- just a tiny bit better but not much. Also my back doesn't hurt like it did but the odor's still there. Does anyone have a solution?

Absolutely yes! You're not crazy. I'm having a severe problem with dry mouth and a metal-like taste. Also an irritated stomach. Any suggestions for the dry mouth? Thanks.

On Eliquis (after huge blood scare) for 34 days. The underarm problem is terrible. I have tried everything Walgreen's has to offer. Does anyone have this problem and could recommend a solution? I am going to have massive dry cleaning bills. Does this kind of side affect diminish after on the drug for a time?

Yes I have noticed a distinctly different smell since starting eliquis. Also I think some foods that I eat almost have a similar taste. Not to be gross because I can eat the food but it does seem similar.

NIH.gov actually lists the following side effects associated with Eliquis (Apixaban): red, brown, or pink urine; red or black, tarry stools. However nothing in particular about its smell. Has anyone else experienced these odd colors in their urine/stool or think that this may be attributing to the different smell in some way?

In either case I would suspect it's more than likely Eliquis that's causing the problem if you've never had this issue prior to treatment. I don't know if it'll go away on it's own, but if it were me, I'd probably stop taking whatever is believed to be the underlying cause of it and research some of other alternatives with less side effects.

Please keep us posted on how things turn out!
