Iron tablet and black stool

5 replies

How soon after taking iron tablets would you expect stool to turn black?
I took one tablet yesterday morning at 7.30, and today BM is black. It seems very quick. Although the logical part of me says it must be the tablets, the anxious side of me is saying surely that's too soon....

Amazing, thank you all for responding so quickly! I'm not sure I'm a fan of these tablets. I usually make do with a womens multi vitamin to keep my levels up but it ran out and these were in the cupboard left over from pregnancy!
