What Causes Unusual Urinary Odour While On Melatonin?

Hello, Ive been taking melatonin at bedtime for 2 weeks to help relax me. It s working great! I ve noticed my urine having an odor. It reminds me of the same unhealthy smell when after post appendectomy as a child. I m 30 years old female pretty healthy. I also have a few drinks a few times a week but this problem just recently occurred. Is it melatonin or something more serious? Thanks for any help! Lauren

Respected Lauren, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Melatonin has nothing to do with unusual urinary odour.
*It`s related to imbalance in urinary pH following hydration disorder.
- drink plenty of liquids preferably boiled water, coconut water, green tea,
rice water, butter milk , lemon juice etc.
- maintain hygiene of private parts to avoid bacterial invasion.
- avoid smoking / alcohol / abuse substances of any form if using.
- get a Urine examination report done if problem persists.
Hope this clears your query.
