What Cause Strong Smelling Urination While On Co-Diovan?

Hi Doctor, I previously used Co-Diovan for my high blood pressure and my urine smelled strongly and the color of my urine turned dark quickly in the toilet bowl. I subsequently switched to Diovan and the odour is still there but less intense. Is this normal?

Dear Sir or Madam,
based on your history it looks like you are having side effects of the tablet concerned. I strongly recommend you stop the medication immediately and contact your doctor for other alternative medication for the same. Also get yourself evaluated esp. your kidney function tests and urine tests.

I hope I was able to answer your question, wishing you good health.
