Faslodex and body odor

3 Replies

I’ve been on Ibrance 100 mg tablets and monthly Faslodex injections for 23 months. I’ve noticed that after getting my monthly injections I develop a strange body odor, especially noticeable when urinating, and the odor (strong and unpleasant ) lasts for several days. It took several cycles of injections to put two and two together. Anyone else experiencing this side effect?

Yes I get the same. In fact sometimes I can actually taste the stuff. Glad it's only for a few day as can make you feel a bit sick too. I try to drink lots of water to flush my system however no idea if this helps or not .

Hi Yes , I can guarantee the metallic odour starts a couple of hours after the injections and lasts about 3 days, it really smells strong in urine. I drink lots of water and it eventually goes away as I flush it out.

On cycle 6 of Ibrance and Faslodex.
