Hi Doctor recently I started taking Sharkoferrol upon prescribed by a doctor. After 2-3 days of its consumption I noticed I am constipated and my teeth has started becoming brown. Right now I have stopped taking the syrup but please suggest me how to get rid of constipation. I do drink lots of juices n water but nothing helped.

Constipation is common side effect of medicine containing iron and calcium. Nothing to worry about drink lots of water. If possible take one and half teaspoon of isabgol powder with one glass of lukewarm water at night. It will last till the medicinal effect. Stool colour may also turn blackish.
