A member asked:

Why does it look luke oil is in my urine? i've been using boric acid suppositories for almost 2 weeks and never saw this.

Dr. Enrique Molina answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Side effect: It is probably a side effect of long term use of boric acid. Why are you using that for so long anyways? Check with your doctor about alternative treatments for your condition. Boric acid can cause kidney damage.
