Hello, Dark stools after starting Norflox can occur, but usually antibiotics alone don’t cause black stool. The common reasons are: Iron or bismuth containing medicines (if taken alongside). Gastritis or minor stomach irritation from antibiotics which can sometimes lead to darkening. Hidden gastrointestinal bleeding (from stomach/upper intestine), which needs to be ruled out if stool is truly black, sticky, or foul smelling (tarry). 👉 What you should do: Stop self-medication and continue only what your doctor has prescribed. Drink enough fluids and take Rinifol regularly to protect your gut flora. If stools remain dark black, become sticky/tarry, or you notice weakness, giddiness, abdominal pain, consult your doctor immediately for stool test and possibly endoscopy. It may be just a side effect, but since black stool can also indicate bleeding, it is better to get it checked rather than ignore.

Most likely it's malena ..due to upper GI tract bleeding.. antibiotics irritate the gut lining ..

Not a common side effect of Norflox. • May be due to stomach irritation, ulcer, or internal bleeding. • Urgent: Stop Norflox and go for clinical test Don’t ignore — get checked to rule out serious causes.

Preferably get an endoscopy done to rule out your stomach problems. That might also give you an answer for dark stool.

Stop the medicine only

Norfloxacin is a relatively safe antibiotic and doesn’t cause black stool. Same goes with rinifol which is just a probiotic. If you continue to have dark stools kindly connect. We need to go over what other medicines you are taking which may interact with these medicines and if any other reason is there for dark stool. Dark stool is different from Black stool and both can mean different things. So advise you to book a consultation.
