Diseases of the blood and hematopoietic system (haematological)
My 12-year-old son received Innofer suspension 1x5ml a day due to anemia. Can this suspension harm and destroy his teeth? After administration, my son immediately rinses and brushes his teeth. What are the experiences with this varnish and the reaction to enamel and teeth? Thank you for your help

Yes, liquid iron preparations such as Innofer can sometimes cause tooth staining. Iron can react with the surface of the enamel, causing dark spots to appear. To minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation, the following precautions can be taken:
1. Drinking the product through a straw helps to reduce the contact of the liquid with the teeth.
2. After taking the iron preparation, it is worth rinsing your mouth with water to remove the remaining fluid.
3. Brushing your teeth after taking the preparation can help remove iron residue from the surface of your teeth.
Innofer can be purchased at an online pharmacy in the home delivery option:
