How should I take Pharmaflur (fluoride)?

Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended.

Do not take fluoride with milk or other dairy products. Calcium can make it harder for your body to absorb fluoride.

Suck on the fluoride lozenge until it dissolves completely in your mouth. Do not chew the lozenge or swallow it whole.

The chewable forms of fluoride can be chewed, swallowed, dissolved in the mouth, added to drinking water or fruit juice, or added to water for use in infant formula or other food.

The fluoride drops can be taken by mouth undiluted, or mixed with fluid or food.

If you mix fluoride with food or water, drink or eat this mixture right away. Do not save it for later use.

It is important to take fluoride regularly to get the most benefit.

Store fluoride at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.
