Brief Answer:
Yes, it does!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

It has an odor which is the usual odor of the medication. This will fade away when the bottle is opened over and over. Have you ever used this before? Did you note a change in the usual odor?

If this is your first time using it, then that is okay about the odor. If you think this odor was out of place, then I will say that you look at the expiry date to see if all is well. If there are no worries, then go ahead and use the drug.

Thanks and I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
