Patient's question:
A pregnant woman taking Alerve in the early stage has dark green stools. Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Black stools may be due to the lack of iron absorption. After taking it, iron reacts with hydrogen sulfide in the intestines to form black iron sulfide, causing the stool to turn black, which is normal. Generally, it will return to normal after stopping. However, this phenomenon will not affect fetal development, so rest assured.Advice: Alerli is a compound vitamin and needs to be supplemented continuously. Due to its iron content, this medication can change the color of the stool to black. Perform prenatal check-ups on schedule, maintain a balanced diet, and pay attention to rest.
