Brief Answer:
Yes high coloured urine is due to Xenical
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been taking Xenical may be to reduce your weight and now getting high coloured urine with increase frequency of urination.
Passing high coloured urine ids known side effect of the drug(Xenical) However increase frequency of urination could be due to UTI) either. In such a case, I would order for routine urine test to exclude UTI. Once you give the test, you can be started on broad spectrum antibiotics along with urinary anti spasmodic like Flavoxate twice daily for a week. I think it should resolve the symptom of increased frequency..
Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.
