What Causes Strong Body Odor After Taking Statin?

I have a body odor that affects my sweat and urine that I ve noticed within the past 30 days or so. I have not had any changes in my diet (food or beverage consumption) during that period. I did start taking a statin drug about 45 days ago. Any ideas?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Sudden changes of body odor can be related to new medication that you are using so statine can be the cause of your body odor.
I suggest to stay hydrated and maintain a good hygiene.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
