My spouse told me that my breath smelled like metal. She then stated that it was coming from my pores and I smelled like metal all over. Not sure what can cause this. As far as I know, Sertraline 100 mg does not cause this. I did just start Nicotine patches, but I didn t think that was a side effect. Please help.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sertraline and Nicotine patch can not cause bad breath. Bad breathing is mostly related to oral cavity problem like caries teeth, decayed teeth, gum bleeding, abscess, parotitis etc. So better to consult dentist and get done clinical examination of oral cavity. Avoid garlic and onions from the food. Wash your mouth thoroughly after meals.  Chat Doctor.  Rinse your mouth with antiseptic solution like chlorhexidine. Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult dentist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
