Zymafluor 0,50mg Sodium Fluoride Prevention Caries 100 Tablets

Indications
Prevention of dental caries.

Contraindications / Side Effects
Hypersensitivity to one of the components of the product or strictly correlated substances from a chemical point of view.

Dosage
The daily dose should be commensurate with the age of the child as well as the fluoride content of the drinking water and the fluoride ingested through other sources such as the diet or fluoridated toothpaste. It is recommended to prescribe the doses given in the following way. Concentration of fluorine in water <0.3 mg / ml. Supplementary fluoride intake recommended in patients from 2 weeks to 2 years of age: 0.25 mg / F- / day; 2-4 years of age: 0.50 mg / F- / day; 4-16 years of age: 1 mg / F- / day; over 16 years of age: 1 mg / F- / day. Concentration of fluorine in water 0.3-0.7 mg / ml. Supplementary intake of fluoride recommended in patients from 2 weeks up to 2 years of age: 0 mg / F- / day; 2-4 years of age: 0.25 mg / F- / day; 4-16 years of age: 0.50 mg / F- / day; over 16 years of age: 0.75 mg / F- / day. Concentration of fluoride in water> 0.7 mg / ml: no supplementary fluoride intake recommended. If the drinking water is not fluorinated, the following dosage is recommended. During pregnancy and breastfeeding: 1 tablet of 1 mg per day. Children from 2 weeks up to 2 years of age: 4 drops per day, or 1 tablet of 0.25 mg per day; 2-4 years of age: 2 tablets of 0.25 mg per day, or 1 tablet of 0.50 mg per day; 4-16 years of age: 1 tablet of 1 mg per day (or according to the doctor's opinion); over 16 years of age: 1 tablet of 1 mg per day. 4 drops = 0.25 mg fluor-ions; 1 ml = 18 drops. Do not exceed the recommended dose. It is recommended to start the fluoride intake before the teeth erupt. The drops are particularly suitable for facilitating administration to the newborn. The drops can be given to the newborn as they are or by adding them to the bottle containing a little water, in a single daily dose. Do not dissolve the drops in milk. After each use, close the bottle carefully. As soon as the age allows it, it is advisable to use the tablets, letting them dissolve in the mouth between the cheek and the gums, now on the left side now on the right side. It is recommended to take the tablets in the evening, before going to bed, after brushing your teeth, so that a high concentration of fluoride can be kept in the mouth for a longer period of time.

Warnings
If a supplementary intake of fluoride is considered, the quantities of fluorides ingested through other sources should be taken into consideration and an overdose should be avoided. In areas where table salt or water is fluoridated, the dosage should be reduced. If the water contains more than 0.7 mg / l of fluoride, the supplementary intake of fluoride is not recommended.

Interactions
The absorption of fluoride is related to the solubility of the ingested preparation. Absorption is inhibited by calcium, magnesium or aluminum. The medicine should therefore not be administered together with milk and dairy products, nor with antacids containing calcium, aluminum or magnesium salts. An interval of two hours should elapse between the administration of the medicine and antacids.

Side effects
At doses recommended for the prevention of dental caries, sodium fluoride has not been shown to have any noteworthy side effects. However, rare cases of mild rashes (erythema, urticaria) have been reported. They disappear rapidly with discontinuation of treatment.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
The drug was used extensively for many years during pregnancy. If you decide to administer the drug during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the recommended dose for the mother is 1 tablet of 1 mg per day (equal to 1 mg of fluorine). The content of fluoro-ions in breast milk, however, is negligible and the breast-fed child is advised to administer 1 tablet of 0.25 mg or, preferably, given the child's age, 4 drops a day ( equal to 0.25 mg of fluorine ions).
