Is it normal to have black stools every day while taking Orofer XT and Dexorange syrup for low hemoglobin levels during my 34th week of pregnancy?

Asked by Female, 28 · 1 month ago

Having black stools is a very common and completely harmless side effect of taking iron supplements like Orofer XT and Dexorange syrup. When you take oral iron, your body absorbs what it needs, and the unabsorbed iron is excreted, which naturally darkens your stool. This is actually a sign that the medication is in your system, working to boost your hemoglobin levels during your 34th week of pregnancy. You can safely continue taking them. Just mention this to your doctor during your next routine prenatal visit for reassurance.
