Hi,
Oxy ir tablet is effective for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia it is not used for the treatment of vitamin-B12 deficiency. Its common side effects include nausea, metallic taste, stomach upset, constipation and black colored stools. Continue taking it as prescribed. Whereas for the deficiency of vitamin-B12 the multivitamin formulation becosule is useful.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
