From: Chris J. on 4 Mar 2006 17:14 I've noticed a fish-like smell from my last two bottles of metformin. I've never noticed this before, but this last bottle is very noticeable. I'm rather concerned about this as I'm highly allergic to seafood. I've been trying to find information on how metformin is made, but nothing so far. The metformin with the smell was from Walmart. previously, I've bought it from Costco and didn't notice a smell. Has anyone else noticed smelly metformin?

Mine smells like dish soap. It has a sweetish detergent like smell and a pretty similar taste, not that I eat dish soap but sometimes a pill doesn't go down easily and I get the taste. Paul

I don't think I woudl worry as you would have known had you gotton an allergic fish reaction to the med, judging from your experience on the ship:-) That kind of thing is hard to miss:-) Wendy.

Chris. my pills have no smell. I wonder if it is just different manfacturers. Loretta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. |
