Hello,

Thanks for the query.

Dark urine may be due to antibiotics or B complex given along with antibiotics. It may be an associated finding also.

Drink lots of water and wait and watch.

If still the urine remains dark colored, please do get an urine routine done and also investigated for bile salts and pigments.

Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Regards,
