Less serious side effects may be more likely, and you may have none at all.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Do not use this medicine if there is enough fluoride in your drinking water (0.6 parts per million or higher). Check with your local water department if you are unsure. Getting too much fluoride can cause a condition that can permanently damage teeth or other cells in the body.

Avoid using other multivitamins or mineral supplements that also contain iron. Getting too much iron can cause serious medical problems.

Calcium can make it harder for your body to absorb all the nutrients in multivitamin with iron and fluoride. For at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after you take this medicine:

• do not drink milk or eat dairy products; and

• do not take calcium supplements, or antacids that contain calcium.

What do I do if I miss a dose?

• Give a missed dose as soon as you think about it.
• If it is close to the time for your child's next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your child's normal time.
• Do not give 2 doses at the same time or extra doses.
