A member asked:

Is it bad if my urine doesn't turn brown while taking flagyl?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably fine: Flagyl (metronidazole) can cause a darkening of urine; however, it does not have to do this. If you are taking the medication as your doctor prescribed and do not have darkening, this can also be normal.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
