Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
There Is no cause f concern due to orange Urne, neither of the drugs have the side effect profile of causing orange colour Urine. It may be due to decreased intake of fluid and also due to water and acid loss following omitting leading on to concentrated Urine formation.
Ensuring a water intake of minimum of 2 liter a day will clear the colour.
Do get back to me if you need ny further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
