Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Ocerin is a safe medicine to increase the joint lubricants in osteoarthritic patients. It is associated with mild side effects like gastritis, headache, nausea, etc. The high colored urine is due to the excretion of the waste drug through the urine. These findings are not worrisome and she can continue using it in addition to a calcium rich diet.
