Dear Drug Manufacturers:
What is with the funny dyes you guys are using? Are they really part of some necessary component that makes the medications effective?
Biaxin turned my urine the exact color of Mountain Dew, complete with run-for-the-fallout-shelter, nuclear-green glow. I wonder if that is what the Hulk's pee looks like. Thankfully, Biaxin is just an antibiotic, and after a week or so I was done and my bodily fluids could return to their normal color.
My new stomach medication, however, is literally scaring the piss out of me. (Well, I guess my piss is scaring me. Either way, it's not good.) Whose idea was it to include an ingredient that turns urine a bright orange-red? I was terrified that maybe I had internal bleeding. Actually, I still am kind of terrified of that, though I wonder that it could come on so quickly (just a couple of hours) after I began taking the medication, and stop so quickly once I skipped a day.
Well, I took a pill again this morning after normal-color urine all yesterday afternoon. We'll see what happens.
Oh, and--"Aciphex"? Really? That's what you named a stomach medication? Your team must have come up with that name via email. When I say it out loud, I expect CGI monkeys to fly out of my butt.
Colorfully yours,
Me
