On nitrofurantoin for UTI. Noticed change in urine color. What's wrong?
Answered by
Thanks for sharing your concern.
It is correct that when nitrofurantoin is taken, it changes the colour of urine to brown and it is harmless. Common possibilities are if you are taking any B- Complex, it may be cause for yellow colour.
In Jaundice yellow colour may be there.
Take plenty of water which will help even in UTI.
Let me know if Culture and sensitivity was done or not.
Hope this information helps, if you have any other query please feel free to ask me.
Regards
