Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you.

- Totally undissolved iron into the stool is abnormal.
- But black stool after iron therapy is normal.

- If undissolved iron is seen in stool, regimen of iron should be changed. I suggest a Livozen Z tablet. It contains iron and all the necessary elements necessary for haemoglobin formation.

I will be glad to answer your further query.
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
Wish you a best health.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank.
