yea so someone was complaining that they thought their own family member was stealing their compounded opioid... so we figured, lets make some caps with methylene blue.. although we had to use another capsule color (red and blue to hide the powder color)... if they urinated blue then the mom would know that they are stealing them...

i've been drinking my bud light since 10am trying to cleanse myself.. the temptation was too great and i tried one to see if they worked... blue urine is really a site to see.. yes crazy i know.
 
damn! how much did it take to get it truly blue?

not that I know anyone who experimented with this, but we didn't get much beyond green. (we were also trying very low doses)
 
I would have thought that it's illegal to add things like that to compounded items.

Great idea though, no way the kid would ignore blue urine. Try flushing with Guinness, it tastes better.
 
~100 mg... lets not discuss the legalities... last night it was slightly greenish blue.. this morning it was definitely a pure blue.. njac sounds like you tried it.. haha.. pharmacist are scientists!!
 
Did you ever try phenazopyridine? Turns the pee bright orange, practically fluorescent. Better than B vitamins.
 
wouldn't you need an Rx to make that anyways? I thought it was Rx only? But this thread isn't to discuss the legality of this.

Although, it probably has whoever is stealing them panicking and googling side effects of opiates to see if blue urine has been reported.
 
This is a well-known prank in nuclear (or so I've heard) since we use it in the pharmacy to compound certain drugs to extend their expiration.

Luckily I haven't fallen victim to it!

Come on Spiriva...a Steelers Jersey on the Avatar....Do not be a bandwagon jumper. The Cardinals would be awsome!

You haven't been reading the photo thread!

Actually, neither team really does anything for me. But you're right...would be kinda neat to see Arizona pull it off. I think they were the last team I would've picked to even get through the playoffs. Are the Cards your team?

So here you go! Although I'm a Cowboys fan...but I'm sure you see plenty of them in Dallas. 😉

on my nuclear rotation they mentioned pranking a few people with it.
 
My dad's American - he was in the US navy x 12 yrs. As a young recruit, he was pranked by the corpsman, who gave a whole planeload of guys something that made their pee blue.
 
We played around with the stuff in Nerd Camp chemistry class. We dyed our own pee blue, green and red. And pranked plenty of other campers with it too. We also made fake vomit and held it in our mouths and feigned mass emesis in the residence hall lobby.
