What Causes Foul Body Odor When On Cholesterol Medication?

my husband has gained wt.he takes cholesterol meds...heart meds...and bp lowering meds. He has a sour smell that is offensive now when he never did before. Its awful and increases with sweating. something is being emitted from his pores because he actually will cause the white paint of a wood toilet seat to turn a pinkish...and the linens in our bed are all stained where his body touches...it even removes the color of very expensive leather furniture. I am about ready to scream with this....

hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Basically sour smell in perspiration is not related to any medicine.I suggest you to check his serum Uric acid level ,sometimes patients of gout have such odour in perspiration.
My best wishes
