This is serious: Anemia needs a workup. If you're simply self-treating with an iron tablet without an explanation of why you're actually anemic or having been checked for a source of blood loss, you're doing yourself a major disservice. You may well have a chronic bleeding ulcer that's made you anemic and now you've gotten it bleeding heavily. Or iron itself can blacken your stool. Get to your physician.
