Can pedialyte cause bright yellow urine?

Pedialyte is a rehydration solution that is used to treat dehydration in children. It is composed of water, electrolytes, and sugars. The electrolytes in Pedialyte include sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. The sugars in Pedialyte include glucose and sucrose.

Pedialyte can cause bright yellow urine because the vitamin B2 (riboflavin) in the solution is excreted through the urine. Riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally found in many foods, such as milk, cheese, and eggs. When riboflavin is excreted through the urine, it can cause the urine to appear bright yellow.

The bright yellow urine caused by Pedialyte is not harmful and will go away once the Pedialyte is stopped.
