Yes, Metformin is well known to have an odor and it can vary, somewhat, from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some of them seem to smell like old fish and others like dirty sweaty socks.

It really doesn't make it a very appealing medication to use and it has so nauseated some people, that they were forced to quit using it.

The odor is especially prominent in the new instant release versions of the medication.

That's good to know because mine smells and tastes like grape also. I was concerned that the drug had been altered accidentally in some way. I really like the grape taste compared to what is was before!!
