Do Finasteride And Tamsulosin HCL Post TURP Surgery Cause An Odor?

I just had TURP surgery and I m taking Finasteride and Tamsulosin HCL.4MG. I have developed this strange odor that appears to be coming out of my pores. I definitely don t like it and my wife smells it also? Is this a result of these meds interacting. My friends that are on Tamsullosin don t say they don t have any odor problem.

Hello,

It is not related to drugs.

If symptoms persist better to consult a urologist and get evaluated.

A urine culture is required for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
