Hi,
Multi-minerals tablet can cause green discoloration of the stool. Green colored stool appears to be due to breakdown of pigments by the multi-minerals (like iron salts) present in the cadbe tablet. It is a harmless reaction which will subside after stopping the medication so there is no need to worry about it.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
