What Causes Cloudy And Frequent Urination While Taking Phentermine?

I have been on phentermine for about 7 weeks and recently noticed my urine is cloudy for the past few days. No pain. No tiredness. Frequent urination due to taking phentermine and drinking about 80 ozs a day. Have not noticed increase in urination since cloudiness began. I had a nephrectomy 9 years ago and have no problems since then. No daily meds. Took amoxicillin 1 month ago for a tooth ache. Take weekly Calcium supplement (high prescribed dose) for the past 7 weeks.

Hi,

Cloudy urine may indicate the presence of mucus, pus, or blood. Alternatively, it can be due to sediment that forms when some of the constituents of urine, such as phosphates or urates, form tiny crystals.

If you have no symptoms, then the cloudiness may be due to the presence of normal vaginal mucus.

It would be a good idea to report what you’ve noticed to your GP, and to arrange for a sample to be sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Any blood, pus, crystals, or infection will be reported. If you have symptoms of thrush such as itching, soreness, irritation, or thick white discharge, then it would be wise to get treatment from your GP.

If your urine test is reported as normal there is no need to worry. Drinking plenty of water will reduce your chances of having problems with urine infections or cystitis in the future.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
