Brief Answer:
Brown black sticky stool is due to orofer-xt tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.

Brown black sticky stool is due to the presence of iron salt in orofer xt. It will resolve once you stop taking orofer xt. So there is nothing to worry.

This tablet is given to increase the haemoglobin level in blood in case it is low.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
