Ans: A
Levodopa (l-dopa), an antiparkinson drug, and injectable iron compounds can lead to brown or black urine. Anticoagulants may cause hematuria (blood in the urine), leading to a pink or red color. Diuretics can lighten the color of urine to pale yellow. Phenazopyridine (Pyridium), a urinary tract analgesic, can cause orange or orange-red urine.
