It is very common and completely safe to have dark or black stools while taking iron supplements like Orofer XT, as your body naturally excretes unabsorbed iron this way. Occasional loose stools can also occur due to iron, Glyciphase SR (metformin), or Gestofit SR (progesterone). To ensure all your medications work effectively, please take your Thyronorm (levothyroxine) on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, and separate your iron (Orofer XT) and calcium (CCM) supplements by at least two to four hours, as calcium can block iron absorption.
