Vitcofol has ferrous fumarate, that's a vitamin plus iron syrup so it's normal to have change in colour of stools .
Give albandazole 400mg (available as 10 ml suspension) at night . And repeat after 10 days.
Give vitcofol and shelcal at separate times.
Vitcofol should be given 2hours after meals as food can interfere with absorption.
I hope you have also give VITamin D 3 in additional form as a satchet . It is to be given weekly for 10 weeks .

Victofol as iron content that's y there is a colour change of motion, not to worry. It can also cause mild teeth discoloration.
Albendazole syrup is available as 10 ml/ 400 mg. Do please give 10 ml once to ight at dinner time, then repeat another 10 ml after 15 days. That is you have to buy two bottles.
