What Causes Foul Smelling Urine?
This is so embarrassing but I need to know if I am getting sick; My urine smells like the sewer when I urinate. My pharmacist switched one of my medications to a different company and I have been wondering if the smell could be coming from that or something else.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Some drugs can give pungent or smelly urine. What drugs you are taking now. ? Also do an urine routine test and culture to rule out infection. In case of bacterial infection proper antibiotic therapy will be helpful. Take more plain water. Taking cranberry juice or barley water will be helpful also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
