Does Taking Doxyxycline Cause Bad Odour In Nasal Passage?
Can taking Doxycycline cause a bad odor in my nasal passages? I took it for 6 days before I thought that it might be causing it. I've taken it before with no problems, but it's a generic and I don't know if the same company made the other ones I've taken. Wondering if maybe the fillers or something in the meds have caused this. It smells like sulfur/ammonia/skunk....I'm the only one that smells this and it's driving me crazy! Hope you can help...Thank you

Hello,
Doxycycline does not cause any such odours to my knowledge .
It could be because of the company that the doxycycline is not good ie the medicine preservatives are not good. You should try to change and take some other company medicine.
In doubt do reply
