Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM.

Black sticky stools signify an upper gi bleeding... of more than 100 ml...you need to get an endoscopy done to identify and treat the bleeding point...

Regarding the next query...the interaction depends to the type to contraception being used...which you have not mentioned...but it usually dont interact with oc pills
