Hi,
It is unlikely to affect your baby's complexion. Orofer-XT contains iron and folic acid which is commonly prescribed to treat and prevent anemia during pregnancy.Its common side effects include heartburn, nausea, metallic taste, constipation, and black colored stool.
It is not known to cause any harmful effects on the growing fetus and also does not affect the newborn complexion hence prescribed during pregnancy. There is nothing to worry about it, continue taking it as prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
