Not necessarily but it is evidence of possible taking more than you need.
There's something wrong if your pee isnt blue. I forget the word but, I heard on the Hunnermanlab podcast. I'll have to go back an find it.

It took almost a month for my pee to get a greenish or blueish hue.

I stopped using it about 1-1/2 weeks ago because my creatine had jumped .2 on my bloodwork. Not saying this was it, but I can't take that chance with other things I'm on that are way more important. So I'm just doing SLU since it is supposed to benefit the kidneys. Doing blood again next week to see where things are.

I picked up some of those capsules and my piss was blue later in the evening.

I am taking 30 mg via caps first thing in the morning. I primary started taking it for mitochondrial health then read it was used to reduce RBC in dogs and had heard it had similar effects in humans, but found no studies, so I figured I would perform my own research. I stopped using all other RBC controls and only used Methylene Blue. Labs showed about a 5% reduction. I added citrus bergamot and nattokinaise back in to see if there was a compound effect, I did not see any additional reduction. I will do labs again next month to see if there is any change. If not, I will drop the nattokinaise. I am not going to spend money on it, if it is offering no additional benefit. Citrus bergamot at least has a positive impact on LDL.
It can interfere with G6PD/NADPH in RPCs and cause hemolytic anemia. RBCs are destroyed faster than they are made. One of the problems using it clinically in patients that have a G6PD deficiency, sometimes CO/CN poisoning and an ER visit is where they find that out they have it. Probably should add that to the list of health issues in folks that shouldn't take MB if they know the have a G6PD issue, I would imagine that someone is going to figure this out the hard way if they have it and don't know it.

I just ordered some and will be picking it up later today. Now I'm kind of back and forth if I want to try it or not try it. Already spent the money so I hate to not at least give it a whirl but now reading some of these posts makes me think maybe I just left the money go down the drain. I don't take any SSRI ' s.

Get general chem with LFTs and CBC, start with a low dose for a few weeks, see how you feel and recheck labs.
