I started 5 weeks ago and have nausea on some days. Now, I am upset because my teeth are discolored and I read that Rifampim can cause it. Afraid to go to dentist due to COVID. I am new and don't know how to post a question

@kayskid Hi there and welcome! I do not know that about Rifampin. The red/orange urine is enough for me! Can you call your doctor? The pharmacist? Perhaps your doctor can switch you to a different but comparable med. irene5

Yes, Rifampin can discolor your teeth, however, I find that it can be lightened by using a good whitening paste. I hope this helps ! Toni

@kayskid I feel for you, I agree the whitening toothpastes help, I would usually go to a dental hygenist every few months, she did a great job so It can come off, COVID is such a pain.
