Dark colour stool
Hello
I am 19 weeks pregnant and since last one month I am on Orofer XT as my Hemoglobin was low.Since then I am having dark or black coloured stool, and after every two three days I have loose motion.
Kindly suggest is it normal due to iron supplement?
Other medicines are thyronorm, Glyciphase SR 500, CCM tab, vitamin C,Fol 123 and Gestofit SR 300.
