Can pregnant women eat Iron Dextran?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can pregnant women take Dextran Iron Dispersible Tablets?

Doctor's answer:

Dextran Iron Dispersible Tablets are a medication used to treat iron deficiency anemia and have no adverse effects on fetal development; pregnant women can take them. Common side effects include gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort. Taking the medication half an hour after a meal can reduce gastrointestinal irritation. Black stools after taking the medication are normal and do not need to be a cause for concern.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, irritating, and cold foods should be avoided.
