Meds That Cause Changes

[springgarden]

I am preparing for my Nclex Exam and there was a question about which drug would change the colour of a patient's urine.

Another question was about which medication should not be stored in the fridge.

So my questions are

1 - Which Nclex Meds change urine colour?

2 - Which Nclex Meds change Stool colour?

3 - Which Nclex Meds should always be stored in the fridge?

4 - Which Nclex Meds should never be stored in the fridge?

Thanks

Does anybody remember Pepsi-Blue? One time I drank so much of that my doodoo looked like the "post reply" button.

One time I went to Big Lots and bought a bunch of "The Hulk Pudding", which was very green. I ate some of that, and it turned my poop very green.

Scary at first until you realize what's causing it, then it's good for a laugh.
