Metformin is not a vitamin, it is an oral antidiabetic medication.

Actually, it is completely normal for this medication to have a very bad odor. Many companies just manage to keep you from smelling it by putting a coating on the tablets, so the smell never reaches your nostrils.

In this case, these pills may not have the coating or it may not be as thick as normal.
