Pharmacist tips for Multivitamin with fluoride

pharmacist

  • There are several available brands of multivitamin with fluoride available. Make sure to carefully read the label on the packaging for the list of ingredients as well as the specific directions on how to take the medication. Ask your child's provider about what dose your child should take before starting the medication.

    • Tell your provider or pharmacist about all the medications and supplements you're taking before starting multivitamin with fluoride to make sure there are no interactions. You might need to give multivitamin with fluoride to your child at least 2 hours before or after taking food or medications with calcium, aluminum, or magnesium. These supplements might lower the amount of fluoride your child's body absorbs.

      • Make sure to check the ingredients of your toothpaste, food, and drinks to see if they contain fluoride. Before giving your child multivitamin with fluoride, ask their healthcare provider for guidance on using other products that contain fluoride. Having too much fluoride in the body can lead to side effects (e.g., changes in how the teeth look).

        • Store multivitamin with fluoride at room temperature and out of reach of children so that they don't accidentally take too much. If your child accidentally took multivitamin with fluoride and you notice them vomiting up blood or having diarrhea and stomach pain, call your local Poison Control Center right away at 1-800-222-1222.

          More tips for the chewable tablets

          • Make sure to chew the tablets, don't swallow them whole. This will allow the medication to work best.

            • Chewable tablets aren't typically recommended for children under 4 years old. This type of tablet can be a choking hazard. If your child is under 4 years old, talk with their provider about the best multivitamin with fluoride options for them.

              More tips for the oral (by mouth) suspension

              • Shake the suspension well before use. Make sure to use the dropper that comes with the medication to measure the dose. Don't use household spoons, because they aren't accurate and might cause you to give your child the wrong dose.

                • Fill the dropper to the appropriate line based on your child's dose. Then, squeeze the dropper bulb in your child's mouth to give your child the medication. It's normal for a small amount of medication to be in the tip of the dropper after giving your child the dose.

                  More tips for iron-containing products

                  • Make sure to tell your provider and pharmacist about all the medications you're taking before starting multivitamin with fluoride, especially if you're taking antacids (e.g., calcium carbonate (Tums)), tetracycline antibiotics, or fluoroquinolone antibiotics). These can interact with the iron in multivitamin with fluoride. Don't start any new medications without talking to your or your child's provider or pharmacist first.

                    • If your child is using a multivitamin with fluoride supplement that contains iron, don't use any other iron supplements. This can lead to too much iron in your body, which can cause side effects, such as nausea, constipation, or diarrhea. And if the iron levels are too high, your child can experience serious toxicity.

                      • Multivitamin with fluoride can change the color of your stool, which is a common, but harmless, side effect of iron supplements. Don't be alarmed if you see your stool turn a green or tarry-black color.

                        Frequently asked questions about Multivitamin with fluoride

                        Who should use multivitamin with fluoride?
                        Fluoride is an important mineral for preventing cavities. Fluoride supplements are typically prescribed for children between 6 months to 16 years old who are at high risk for cavities and live in areas where there are low fluoride levels in their drinking water. In some cases, multivitamin with fluoride is also prescribed for adults. Your provider can help you find out if you or your child might need fluoride supplementation.
                        Should I give my child other sources of fluoride while they're taking multivitamin with fluoride supplements?
                        Talk with your child's provider to see how much fluoride supplement your child needs. Don't give your child more fluoride products than what their provider recommends. Children age 8 years and younger are at risk for a condition called fluorosis if they're exposed to too much fluoride over a long period of time. This can lead to white dots or small dents on the teeth. Common sources of fluoride include toothpaste and fluoridated drinking water. Typically, multivitamin with fluoride is only prescribed for children who don't get enough fluoride through drinking water. Ask your child's provider if you're not sure whether your child is getting fluoride from other sources.
                        Should I give multivitamin with fluoride to my child with food or drinks?
                        Ask your child's provider (or refer to the manufacturer's label) about whether or not you should give multivitamin with fluoride to your child with food or drink. In general, it's recommended that you don't give multivitamin with fluoride to your child with any dairy products or meals because dairy and food can lower how much fluoride their body absorbs. And if your child is taking a multivitamin with fluoride with iron, the iron is also better absorbed on an empty stomach. However, some children might have a harder time taking multivitamin with fluoride without any food. In that case, discuss with your child's provider about the best way to give this supplement to your child.
                        What options does my child have if they have a hard time swallowing multivitamin with fluoride tablets?
                        If your child has a hard time swallowing tablets, talk with their provider about other multivitamin with fluoride options, such as chewable tablets or liquid suspensions. Please be aware that different forms of multivitamin with fluoride might differ in the dose of fluoride, and the type and dose of other vitamins or minerals they contain. They also might have slightly different directions for use. Your child's provider will help you select the product that's best for your child and instruct you on how to give them the medication.

                        What are the risks and warnings for Multivitamin with fluoride?

                        Multivitamin with fluoride can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.

                        risk-warning

                        Too much fluoride

                        Taking too much fluoride can cause a condition called fluorosis that can cause changes to your child's teeth. Additionally, ingesting large amounts of fluoride at one time can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. If your child experiences any of these symptoms while taking multivitamin with fluoride, call their healthcare provider or contact a Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 right away.

                        risk-warning

                        Iron overdose

                        • Risk factors: Taking too much iron | Receiving multiple blood transfusions | Medical problems that raise your blood iron level | Children under 6 years of age

                          If your child takes multiple supplements that contain iron or take a higher dose of iron supplements than recommended, there's a chance that their iron level will become too high. This is dangerous because it can lead to problems such as tears in the gut, seizures, and liver damage. Your child's provider might regularly do blood tests to check their iron level if they're taking multivitamin with fluoride that also contains iron. Let your provider know right away if your child experiences symptoms of too much iron, such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea.

                          Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be extremely harmful to children under 6 years of age. Keep iron/folic acid supplement out of reach of children so that they don't accidentally take it. If your child took iron/folic acid supplement and you notice them vomiting up blood or having diarrhea and stomach pain, call your local Poison Control Center right away at 1-800-222-1222.
