Yes, Pet Saffa or Kayam tablets can sometimes change stool color due to herbs and ingredients. But black stool can also be a sign of bleeding in the stomach, especially if it smells bad or is sticky.
Next Steps
If it's only one time and no pain, observe.
If stool stays black or you feel weak, dizzy, or have stomach pain – see a doctor immediately.
Drink more warm water, eat fruits like papaya, and avoid overusing laxatives.

Yes, Pet Saffa/Kayam tablets may cause dark or blackish stools due to the presence of certain herbal ingredients like senna or haritaki, which enhance bowel movements. This is generally not harmful, but regular use is not advised as it may lead to dependency.
For chronic constipation, it's better to address the root cause with diet, hydration, and proper Ayurvedic guidance. Kindly consult for a tailored treatment plan.
