Abstract

This report enquiring into patients’ attitudes to their urine being coloured by rifampicin has shown that many of them regarded it as evidence of the potency of their medicine or of the elimination of the disease. Attention is drawn to the value of the coloured urine as a reminder to patients whether or not they have taken their due dose of rifampicin-containing medicine.
