Is it normal to experience dark urine and a mild burning sensation while taking Metrogyl 400mg for diarrhea, especially since I had my gallbladder removed three months ago?

Asked by Female, 33 · 25 days ago

It is actually quite common and harmless for Metrogyl (metronidazole) to turn your urine a dark or reddish-brown color; this will resolve once you finish the medication. The mild burning could be due to mild dehydration from diarrhea, so please increase your fluid intake. While your past gallbladder removal is likely unrelated to these urinary symptoms, if the burning worsens, or if you develop a fever or back pain, please contact your doctor to rule out a urinary tract infection.
