Терапевтични показания:

For once daily self-applied systemic use as a dental caries preventive in pediatric patients. It has been established that ingestion of fluoridated drinking water (1 ppm F*) during the period of tooth development results in a significant decrease in the incidence of dental caries. Fluoride Chewable Tablets were developed to provide systemic fluoride for use as a supplement in pediatric patients from 6 months to 3 years of age and older living in areas where the drinking water fluoride content does not exceed 0.6 ppm F*. Fluoride Chewable Tablets 0.5 mg are contraindicated when the fluoride content of drinking water is more than 0.6 ppm F* and should not be administered to pediatric patients under 6 years of age when the fluoride content of drinking water is 0.3 ppm F* or to pediatric patients under age 3 years. Do not administer Fluoride Chewable Tablets (any strength) to pediatric patients under age 6 months.
