Black motions indicate that she is bleeding somewhere in her gastrointestinal tract. This is serious. You must revert to your doctor ASAP.
However, before you visit your doctor, I would advise that you get a stool routine-microscopy done. Black stools may sometimes be caused by certain foods such as beet e.t.c. Meanwhile continue with the prescribed medications.
