Hello
Vitcofol syrup may also cause black stool due to its iron content and this is not a major problem.
But as the child is also on ciplar , I will suggest a follow up visit to the cardiac specialist as further lab studies like bleeding profile and CBC etc may be required.
All the best for your child and take care.
