A few times this week I've had orange urine while on 6MP and Lialda. Should I be concerned?

Orange or regular dark yellow? If it's just dark I'd focus on drinking more water on a regular schedule (like one cup per hour). Maybe someone else can weigh in but I think I've heard that orange colored urine can be a harmless side effect of Lialda.

When I was on Lialda, my urine was a deep yellow-orange color and I was drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day so I was well-hydrated. When I switched back to Sulfasalazine, the urine color lightened greatly.

As long as you stay well--hydrated, you should be ok, unless there are other issues you are dealing with.
