Does this mean that I'm no longer eliminating the drug, and that

it'll build up to toxic levels if I keep taking it?

Hi Adamm,

I was on Rifampin twice for six weeks each and both times the same thing happed to me after a few weeks. I did regular blood tests while on the Rifampin to be sure there was no liver or kidney problems. Each time the results were fine and I had no ill effects other than feeling horrible the whole time I was taking it. One thing that did stay orange the whole time was my stool. Personally I don't think it anything to worry about but always check with your doc when you get concerned.

Patrick
