Green urine??!


Question: bit of an embarrassing one here! ive noticed the last few days that my urine seems quite a bright green, a light green, not dark..... i dont show any other symptoms of an infection but i have recently been taking vitamin b complex.... and vitamin c with bioflavonoids along with a high dose of antihistamines and small dose of prednisolone (steroids)...... all these were to treat severe hives (allergic reaction)..... could the medication/vitamins be the culprit as i feel fine in myself and no longer suffering from hives..... thanks

I recently started to have a bright green urine as well. The only thing that changed in my life was my Homeopathic doc prescribing vitamins that had a large amount of Vitamin B. I spoke with him recently and he said that large amounts of vitamin B can make the urine appear bright yellow or bright green.
With time, the color will return to normal.
It's strange because the urine is almost flourescent!

stop taking all that medication.

I think so, but I suggest to call your doctor.
