Question : I have undergone a surgery (URSL) last week for kidney stone removal which was there in right uterus. A stent is placed and will be removed after 10 days more as suggested by Doctor.

From today, I observed I am passing urine in dark yellow. Till yesterday It was fine.

I changed the tablet 3 days ago. Is that the reason or could be any other thing?

I took Zostum-O 200mg (twice a day)earlier and changed now to Niftran 100mg (Once a day) before 3 days.

Brief Answer:
Not to worry at all

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query
Based on the fact that you have posted the change in colour of your urine to dark yellow is mostly due to medication and urine being concentrated .

As such yellow coloured urine without any symptoms like burning, fever has no significance at all

Continue taking medication and ensure to drink more water to your urine dilute.
