Can apo-lansoprazole make my poop smell matalic, since i started taking it i noticed a matalic smell both in poop and skin or breath, is this normal?

Could be: Although I could not get an exact description of the type of smell, when I looked this up I found that Lansoprazole can indeed cause bad breath and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. It's not dangerous, but annoying.

Lansoprazole: Yes, metallic taste has been reported with this medicine and the number of reported cases have been rising since 2001. This is a rare but recognized side effect
