Why Urine becomes Yellow after taking medications?

         Urine is one of the most important component in the body through which all the wastes drain out of the body. The Urine has various colors based upon the body conditions and other factors.

Why do Urine turn Yellow? Below are few updates on it.

        Yellowing of Urine is mainly due to the predominant rise in the unconjugated Bilirubin in the blood. This happens due to two reasons:

• Hemolytic Jaundice - Increased destruction of RBCs (Red Blood Cells).
• Obstructive Jaundice - Bile stone blockage of the Bile duct or any damage to the liver cells.

        Administration of certain drugs in the patients can also result in the rise in conjugated Bilirubin thereby causing yellowish Urine. Certain drugs can interfere with the Bilirubin Conjugation which is essential for its excretion through the Bile. This increase the conjugated Bilirubin levels in the blood. Even some common medicines like Paracetamol can be Hepatotoxic, which causes mild damage to liver cells thereby increasing Bilirubin levels in the blood. Acute Overdose of Paracetamol can cause Hepatic Necrosis.

    In the case of Tonics or Syrups yellowish of Urine is mainly due to the excretion of Vitamin B Complex. These Vitamins are Water Soluble and their absorption rate is Rapid. Yellow colorization is mainly due the presence of Riboflavin, which is a yellow green fluorescent compound.

Hence, be very cautious while using certain medications that can change colors of the Urine.

Early morning 3 - 5 am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time.
