Bright yellow urine 😳

[imzi]

Since increasing my azathioprine to 100mg and reducing my prednisolone to 10mg I noticed my urine has changed colour to be being very bright yellow... I haven't noticed any pain in my kidneys etc. Has anyone else experienced this before?

sorry for the personal information I'm a bit worried! Thanks for any help xx

Don't worry, I think one of the side effects of Azathioptprine is bright yellow urine! I will see if I can find a link to explain.

Hi I am on 200mg of azathioprine and 20mg of prednisolone and I have noticed my urine is very bright I was a little worried but my doctor said that was normal it was the azathioprine so nothing to worry about 🙂 x

Imuran often causes our urine to be a bright yellow. Nothing to worry about.

If it's easier, you could just check with your pharmacist - they are the experts on drug effects. Then if it isn't normal then you know you need to seek medical opinion.
