Blue urine — methylene blue concentrates in urine. This is benign. \u003cbr\u003e2. Blue tongue and teeth — also benign. May last up to 6 hours or occasionally longer. \u003cstrong\u003eDO NOT use as a buccal troche if you have plastic veneers or non-porcelain dental appliances.\u003c\/strong\u003e Consult your dentist with any concerns. To reduce blue faster: rinse with 1 part vinegar + 1 part water, then follow with 1\/4 tsp baking soda in 4 oz water, 5–10 minutes after the troche dissolves. Hot liquids also help. \u003cbr\u003e3. Elevated blood pressure — if you have hypertension or prehypertension and are on medications, do NOT take MB without close supervision. \u003cbr\u003e4. Mild headache — typically resolves after the first few doses. If it persists, reduce your dose or consult your provider. \u003cbr\u003e5. Numbness or tingling of tongue or cheek — caused by the peppermint. If this occurs, swallow the troche on an empty stomach instead of buccal absorption. \u003cbr\u003e6. Note on high doses — doses exceeding 1mg\/kg (significantly higher than our formula) can lead to GI biofilm disruption, oxidative stress, and gastric ulceration. Our formula is well below this threshold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFDA DISCLAIMER:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
