Sulfur Smell

Hey, I started taking Lyrica 2 weeks ago to help with pain caused by MS, and today ive started having really bad sulfur burps, is this a symptom not on the box? Its kinda freaking me out.. ## Me too! All day and night! It's horrible, I'm going to see about switching medications. This is disgusting ## Lyrica has been known to cause various types of flatulence, and a sulfur smell can be caused by many medications, due to the chemicals they are derived from, other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and weight changes. If it bothers you that much, then yes, you may need to speak to your doctor about switching medications. I haven't experienced it that often, since I've been taking it, but we are all different.

Does anyone else have Accord for the manufacturer? And do your pills smell like sulfur/rotten eggs? ## Yes! I just got my 150mg XL refill. the mfr is accord healthcare and they smell like rotten eggs. I'm not taking them. Going to try to get brand name. I didn't have this problem when I took 75mg twice a day. ## Some medications naturally have a smell due to the specific chemicals involved in their ingredients. You don't always smell it, however, because some manufacturers coat their pills to hide the odor. The FDA warns that Bupropion may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and dry mouth. Ref: Bupropion Information Is there anything else I can help with?

I was prescribed sulfamethoxazole-TMP DS. The pill is oval with a V on the font and 58|98 on the back. It does not smell like sulfur at all, and my urine has not smelled of sulfur. Do I have the right medicine? ## Yes, you do have the right medication. Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is a sulfur based antibiotic, but it is not actual sulfur, so it will not smell like it or cause your urine to smell like it. Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more: Are there any questions or comments?

I noticed today when changing my dressing, an odor from my cathater site.also on used dressing. I've been on and off using antibiotic powder for summer months when it's over 100 degrees. Does that smell always indicate infection? ## What are you using the antibiotic powder for? What type of odor? Some antibiotics can cause a sulfur-like smell to your urine. Have you consulted your doctor?

I'm allergic to Sulpha based drugs, but I am into cooking and wondered if it would be safe for me to try black sea salt? in the descriptions it keeps mentioning it has a sulphur like taste, smell, etc, in it's description, but I can't seem to find out if it's actually sulphur based. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ## There is a difference between sulfa drugs and actual sulfur. Can you eat egg yolks without a problem? If so, then you are not allergic to sulfur, because they are very high in it. I am also allergic to sulfa drugs, but have no problem with actual sulfur. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks for the info, no, I have no problem with eggs, so will be able to actually try the black salt, appreciate the help.
