Rainbow-colored Urine

Plenty of prescription drugs can make you produce different shades of urine, such as Flagyl and furazolidone, which can make you pee black, perhaps the weirdest urine color of all. 

Other drugs, like Dyrenium, which is a diuretic that treats fluid retention and high blood pressure, can turn your pee blue; and Elavil, which is an antidepressant but is also used to regulate children who wet their beds, can turn your urine green.

While rainbow-colored urine may seem cool at first, it could be a sign that there’s something wrong with your body, like severe dehydration or internal bleeding.

Be sure to ask your doctor if your drug may cause colored urine, or else make sure you’re not dehydrated, have a liver problem, or have internal bleeding.
