Sodium Fluoride (Systemic)

Brand name(s): Fluoritab


Proper Use of This Medicine

Take this medicine only as directed by your health care professional. Do not take more of it and do not take it more often than ordered. Taking too much fluoride over a period of time may cause unwanted effects.

For individuals taking the chewable tablet form of this medicine:

  • Tablets should be chewed or crushed before they are swallowed.
  • This medicine works best if it is taken at bedtime, after the teeth have been thoroughly brushed. Do not eat or drink for at least 15 minutes after taking sodium fluoride.

For individuals taking the oral liquid form of this medicine:

  • This medicine is to be taken by mouth even though it comes in a dropper bottle. The amount to be taken is to be measured with the specially marked dropper.
  • Always store this medicine in the original plastic container. Fluoride will affect glass and should not be stored in glass containers.
  • This medicine may be dropped directly into the mouth or mixed with cereal, fruit juice, or other food. However, if this medicine is mixed with foods or beverages that contain calcium, the amount of sodium fluoride that is absorbed may be reduced.

Dosing-

The dose of sodium fluoride will be different for different individuals. Follow your health care professional's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of sodium fluoride. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your health care professional tells you to do so.

The amount of solution or the number of lozenges or tablets you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are taking sodium fluoride.

  • For oral dosage form (lozenges, solution, tablets, or chewable tablets):
    • To prevent cavities in the teeth (where there is not enough fluoride in the water):
      • Children-Dose is based on the amount of fluoride in drinking water in your area. Dose is also based on the child's age and must be determined by your health care professional.

Missed dose-

If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses. If you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional.

Storage-

To store this medicine:

  • Keep out of the reach of children, since overdose is especially dangerous in children.
  • Store away from heat and direct light.
  • Do not store in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in other damp places. Heat or moisture may cause the medicine to break down.
  • Protect the oral liquid from freezing.
  • Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed. Be sure that any discarded medicine is out of the reach of children.

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......

But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:
