Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your discoloration of urine dark orange following intake of melatonin for 2 weeks I am strongly suggest yes this is caused by the drug
Melatonin is a drug used for sleep disorders and and it is metabolised in the liver and excreted in the the urine as an end product as a colorful substance
Hence this is definitely not a pathology and need no panic
I hope this helps Regards
