How should I take 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.
 | Take this medicine with a full glass of water. |
 | Do not take fluoride with milk or other dairy products. Calcium can make it harder for your body to absorb fluoride. |
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. |
