Is it normal to have black stool after taking Richar CR tablets (ferrous ascorbate and folic acid) during my third month of pregnancy, or should I be worried?

Asked by Female, 34 · 16 days ago

Experiencing black stool is a very common and completely harmless side effect of taking iron supplements like Richar CR (ferrous ascorbate and folic acid). When your body processes the iron, the unabsorbed portion is safely excreted, which naturally darkens your stool. This is absolutely normal and nothing to worry about. However, if you ever experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea, or notice actual red blood in your stool, please reach out to your doctor.
