I've been on Stalevo for so long now (about 15 years) that I can't rememeber which of its components (levodopa, carbidopa, entacapone) cause the yellowness of the urine.

It would be interesting to weaponize this observation: to use the chromatic density of the yellow to approximate the rate at which the drugs have been absorped.

For instance, if your first urination after a dose runs clear, this may indicate that absorption has still not taken place. If the the time gap between taking a pill and measuring the yellowness is of the order of1 hour this suggests a normal absorption. Whereas, a longer period with no yellowness may indicate a wasted dose.
