Continue the medication!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I have reviewed this medication and dark urine is a documented side effects. There is no reason to discontinue the drug as this poses no threat to health and would disappear once the treatment is over.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
