Zithromax is a substitute for the antibiotic Penicillin which is not

know for it's rosey aftermath, and is most likely the source of the

change in your urine smell.

The smell can vary between sulfur, mold, or even a night of the living

dead toilet.

If this seriously puzzles you, talk to your doctor about it. It was one of my

symptoms before I got my surgery. If you don't need a referral, go to a

urologist. Perhaps there's an explanation of some sort. It seems if you are

drinking that much water, etc. it shouldn't still smell bad. So talk to your

doctor.

You could have (and likely it is the case) developed a secondary

bladder/kidney and or yeast infection because this particular

antibiotic is good for that (says someone who has been on it

frequently). I just took my 5th day tablet for a sinus infection and

while I'm not noticing the malodorous urine, I have developed a yeast

infection right at my bra line (and at my size, I cannot go without).

So I placed an order for a diflucan (I have multiple refills...lol)

and also for some more nystatin cream (I think I have 1 more refill

of that) as my tube is nearly out.

Check with your doctor; two rounds of it have likely given you a

doozy of a secondary infection which will only go away with something

like macrobid or bactrim.

Aren't we fun?????

, how right you are.  There are some antibiotics that stink so bad!  And

also I will mention the couple of times I took a really powerful antibiotic

called Biaxin.  That stuff leaves a metallic taste in your mouth to where you

taste it all the while you are on it.  It is horrible.  A great antibiotic.  It

made me think " well, it is either going to kill me or the bacteria one " .  LOL.

And I have noticed alot of patients on antibiotics will have horrible smelling

urine and the bowel movements will be extra pungent to the smell. 

Ok,,,, but I must add that a urinary tract infection can also make your pee

stink to high heaven.

1. Are you diabetic? Some antibiotics affect the absorption of

diabetes meds. Have you tested your blood sugar? If you're not a

diagnosed diabetic, can you get some urine test strips to see if

you're excreting ketones, or sugar in your urine?

2. Kidney function? Some antibiotics can affect kidney function.

3. Drug interactions? Call doc or pharmacy to ask. Have your meds

and supplement list ready.

You need to talk to your doc about this in any case.

I'm assuming you're eating yogurt and/or taking acidopholous since

you're on antibiotics, because the antibiotics wipe out the " normal "

flora in the bowel, and the yogurt/acidopholous helps to replenish it.

The smell could come from the antibiotic, I know that ampicillin makes the

pee smell bad or you could still have a UTI, if that is what you are being

treated for or if not, then you need to be checked for that. I know that when

I

get a UTI, my pee smells like fish.
