A member asked:
I'm on metronidazole and noticed dark urine. should i stop using it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
According to: Drugs.Com "Instances of darkened urine have been investigated. The pigment responsible has not been positively identified; however, it is most likely a metabolite of metronidazole and appears to have no clinical significance." Would not stop - but would advise your prescribing provider.
