Can penicillin cause foul smelling urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Penicillin is excreted in the urine. It causes a distinct medicinal smell that i would not describe as foul. It smells the same way the penicillin tastes in tablet form or how it smells if you melt a tablet in water.
