Merely smelling the medicine will not break the fast

Will one’s fast be broken from smelling homeopathic medicines or not? If a homeopathic doctor tends to a patient while fasting and he makes the medicine to give to the patient, would his fast be broken from the scent of the medicine or not?

الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

Merely smelling the medicine will not break the fast.
And Allah knows best
