Unexpected, right? Well, that is, some drugs spoil our sense of smell. There is a whole list of drugs. There are not too many of them. In my opinion, less than a hundred.
There are tens of thousands of drugs in medicine, but the list of drugs that beat off the scent is small. And among these drugs, azithromycin is mentioned. Have you presented?
That is, people swallow it in packs about covid, then lose their sense of smell, think that this is a virus, and this is azithromycin.
Antibiotics generally have side effects related to smell and taste. This is because antibiotics must be excreted in saliva and other snot.
They float in the blood, and then with the blood they enter the mucous membranes, salivary glands and are excreted from there. The usual thing. This was intended by the drug manufacturers to make them work better.
Here is a modest list of medicines that can affect the sense of smell:
Aldesleukin, Doxycycline, Pentoxifylline, Amiodarone, Enalapril, Phenylephrine, Amlodipine, Felodipine, Pirbuterol, Amoxicillin, Flunisolide, Pravastatin, Amrinone, Flurbiprofen, Promethazine, Atorvastatin, Fluorouracil, Propylthiouracil, Azithromycin, Gemfibrozil, Pyrazinamide, Beclometasone, Gentamicin, Bromocriptine, Interferon alfa, Rimantadine, Carbimazole Isotretinoin Roxithromycin, Caroverine, Kanamycin, Scopolamine, Chlorhexidine, Levodopa, Sevoflurane, Cholestyramine, Levofloxacin, Sildenafil, Cimetidine, Levothyroxine, Ciprofloxacin, Lipoic acid, Streptomycin, Citric acid, Lovastatin, Sumatriptan, Clarithromycin, Methimazole, Terbinafine, Clofibrate, Methylthiouracil, Terazosin, Clomipramine, Moxifloxacin, Thiamazole, Nifedipine, Ticarcillin, Cytarabine, Ofloxacin, Tocainide, Diltiazem, Oxymetasolin, Pentamidin.
