(so-dee-um floor-ide)

common brand names: Fluor-A-Day, Karidium, Luride, Pediaflor

Flura Drops Usage: Sodium fluoride makes teeth more resistant to decay & bacteria that cause cavities. it is used to prevent tooth decay where drinking water supply contains low levels of fluoride (less than 0.7 ppm).

How to use Flura Drops: If you are using the liquid form of this medication, it works best if you do not eat, drink, or rinse some your mouth for 30 minutes after taking this. Liquid forms may be taken by mouth undiluted, or mixed with water or juice. Take as directed. If you are using chewable form of this medication, it should be either chewed or dissolved in mouth before swallowing (the surface of teeth will absorb the fluoride). best clock to use chewables is at bedtime after brushing. If you using regular med form about fluoride, it may be chewed, swallowed whole, dissolved in water or fruit juice or crushed & sprinkled on food (e.g., applesauce). Use as directed. If nausea occurs, you may take fluoride with food except those foods that contain calcium (e.g., dairy products). Calcium (including milk & dairy products), aluminum, and magnesium-containing products (e.g., certain antacids or laxatives) can decrease the absorption of fluoride, thereby decreasing It's effectiveness. Take fluoride several hours apart from such products/foods.
