Is it normal for my mother to pass black stools after starting the iron supplement Livogen Z and the antibiotic Cefakind CV for her low hemoglobin and high inflammation level, and should she stop taking the iron tablet?

Asked by Female, 60 · 22 hours ago

Passing black stools is a very common and harmless side effect of taking iron supplements like Livogen Z. This happens because the body does not absorb all the iron, which safely passes through the digestive tract. She should not stop taking her iron tablet, as it is crucial for treating her low hemoglobin. Please ensure she completes her course of the antibiotic Cefakind CV as well. However, if she experiences severe stomach pain, dizziness, or if the stool is sticky and tarry, please consult her doctor.
