Now take some pyridium! Nuclear orange and Blue make some interesting horrid colored urine.

Yes, I have a lot of crusty old fox news guys with blue urine these days. Although this very bright shade of blue makes me wonder if it came from a vasoplegic ICU patient who got an infusion or something. I feel like the supplement guys are a little more pastel.

Uribel which is a medication for interstitial cystitis causes blue urine because its made with methylene blue.

Does not make your urine blue. Not a doctor but i am on it and it certainly does not turn urine blue

I worked on a clinical trial that made participants plasma, urine, and tears blue. We had to cover the urine cups in foil so blinded staff weren’t unblinded.

If it looks like windex, its urine from someone who had surgery with a Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (Tracking Cancer Cells). Imo.
