Why does my urine smells like chemicals after taking cold medicine?

I know the answer: Guaifenesin! It's an expectorant in cough and cold medicine, like Mucinex and Dayquil (Nyquil does not have it). Guaifenesin also has a tendency to make your urine smell funny, but that's perfectly normal and will go away once it leaves your system. I've taken medicine with the stuff before, so I know this through experience.

Mine too ! I smell like the medicine for a few days after taking dayquil and nyquil, like my private area and urine. It's so strange. Looking for an answer myself.

A medicine might not show up in the urine test if it is not filtered out through the kidney and into the urine.
