Does anyone know if phenoxymethyl penicillin makes urine dark?

Just that really. Toddler has tonsilitis has been drinking water on and off all day, had a smoothie, a beaker of milk, half his drinks bottle of diluted squash, a yogurt pouch thing, but he just went for a wee and it was quite dark.

I’m getting him to drink more diluted squash now, recommended by doctor as he’s off his food, to get some sugar into him but was wondering if it’s the medicine as we have had it before with a different antibiotic but can’t find anything in the side effects list.
he didn’t open his bowels yesterday (not unusual sometimes doesn’t) and hasn’t yet today, but hasn’t eaten much, if he doesn’t before bed I’ll be a bit more worried but was wondering if that could be related as well.

anyone’s children had this and had similar? He was using the toilet fine Monday and went for a wee 4-5 times as usual yesterday and the colour wasn’t dark.

I’ve just realised he went twice earlier this morning around 9-10am then only just went again (he was avoiding using the “big toilet” and i had to get the travel potty out) so I wonder if that’s why it looks more concentrated
