Hi,
Most common cause of dark urine is dehydration, other cause are hematuria,hemolytic anemia,heat stroke,certain liver diseases, porphria,infection etc
If you do not have any other symptom then chances of underlying disease is rare as I mentioned above in other causes.
Now,with adequate water intake 3 to 4 liters per day will automatically subside your problem.
The drugs which you have mentioned in question can never cause dark urine.
You can undergo urine examination and consult physician for further advise.
