This safety guide provides important information regarding potential risks and precautions associated with the use of this medication. Please read carefully and consult your healthcare provider for any concerns or queries.

• Excessive Fluoride Intake: Consuming too much fluoride can lead to a condition known as fluorosis, which may alter your child's dental appearance. Ingesting large amounts of fluoride at once can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. If your child experiences these symptoms while taking a multivitamin with fluoride, immediately contact their healthcare provider or the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

• Iron Overdose Risks: There is a risk of iron overdose if your child consumes multiple supplements containing iron or exceeds the recommended dosage. High iron levels can result in severe complications like gastrointestinal tears, seizures, and liver damage. Healthcare providers might conduct routine blood tests to monitor iron levels in children using multivitamins with fluoride that also contain iron. Notify your provider promptly if your child exhibits signs of iron excess such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or diarrhea. Children under six years of age, those receiving multiple blood transfusions, or those with medical conditions that increase blood iron levels are at a higher risk.

• Contraindications: This medication should not be used in certain conditions as it may pose significant health risks. Consult your healthcare provider if any of the following apply:

  • Children younger than six months of age.
  • Residence in areas where drinking water already has adequate fluoride levels.

Ensure you follow all medical advice and consult with a healthcare professional for any specific concerns related to your child's health and medication use.

When taking this medication, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as stomach upset, constipation, or nausea. These are generally not serious and tend to resolve on their own, but if they persist or worsen, consulting a healthcare provider is advisable. Additionally, excessive use of fluoride in the medication could potentially lead to mottled or stained teeth, so informing your dentist or doctor is important if this occurs.

Although rare, a very serious allergic reaction can happen. Be vigilant for symptoms like rash, itching, swelling (especially of the face, tongue, or throat), severe dizziness, and trouble breathing. These signs require immediate medical attention.

For products containing iron, there is a risk of iron overdose in children, presenting symptoms such as stomach pain, seizures, liver issues, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dark stools, fast heart rate, high blood sugar, sleepiness, and even coma. This is a critical situation and should be addressed urgently. Always keep an eye out for any other reactions not commonly listed and consult healthcare providers if you notice anything unusual.
