Important information before use

Fluorettes 0.5 mg must not be used if your child is hypersensitive to sodium fluoride or any of the other ingredients.Even if your child already gets enough fluoride through fluoridated table salt, drinking water, mineral water or table water, the medicine should not be used.

Particular caution is required in children with severe chronic illnesses that impair growth.In this case, you should consult your doctor.Children with congenital metabolic disorders who receive a balanced diet do not need fluoride tablets.

Do not increase the dosage beyond the recommended amount as this can cause enamel stains on the teeth and, in the event of long-term overdose, disrupt bone structure.

Application and dosage

Always use Fluoretten 0.5 mg exactly according to the instructions in the package leaflet.The dosage depends on age and other fluoride intake.The pediatrician or dentist should consider the use of fluoridated table salt, fluoride tablets, gels/varnishes, fluoride-rich mineral water and the fluoride content of drinking water.

The lozenges should be sucked slowly.Young children can be given the crushed tablet on a spoon with food, water or tea.The best time to use is in the evening after brushing your teeth.

Application should begin as early as possible and be carried out consistently at least during the first 12 years of life.Continuing prophylaxis into adulthood is recommended.
