Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Levogen tablets are iron supplements.
They can stain the teeth, when the tablets are touched to teeth.
So possibly the staining your daughter had could be due to this.
As per the available literature, Apcod power may not be the cause for this staining.
The staining due to iron supplements is reversible generally.
So you consult your doctor once and discuss the problem.
With her advice your daughter can temporarily stop the iron tablets or she can shift to some other brand.
Possibly this can help in decreasing the staining.
Better to be careful in future while taking the iron tablets.
Take care.
