Iron tablets are commonly prescribed to treat iron deficiency and anemia, but they can sometimes cause side effects. Common side effects include constipation, nausea, stomach cramps, and dark stools. In some cases, people might experience heartburn, diarrhea, or a metallic taste in the mouth. Severe side effects, though rare, could include allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling. It’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider if any adverse effects occur.
