Precautions While Using This MedicineThe level
of fluoride present in the water is different in different parts of the U.S.
If you move to another area, check with a health care professional in the
new area as soon as possible to see if this medicine is still needed or if
the dose needs to be changed. Also, check with your health care professional
if you change infant feeding habits (e.g., breast-feeding to infant formula),
drinking water (e.g., city water to nonfluoridated bottled water), or filtration
(e.g., tap water to filtered tap water).
Do not take calcium supplements or aluminum hydroxide-containing
products and sodium fluoride at the same time. It is best to space doses of
these two products 2 hours apart, to get the full benefit from each medicine.
Inform your health care professional as soon as possible
if you notice white, brown, or black spots on the teeth
. These are
signs of too much fluoride in children when it is given during periods of
tooth development.
