Statements
Dosage and administration:
1 mL daily, or as prescribed. Includes easy to use dropper. To administer directly, place the dropper directly inside child's mouth that the tip against the inside of the cheek. A firm pressure on the dropper bulb will deliver the proper dose. A slight excess will remain in the dropper. If preferred the drops may be slowly mixed with formula, juice, cereal or other food and fed within 1 hour.
Warnings: As in the case of all medications, keep out of reach of children.
Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of the reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
Precautions:
The suggested dose should not be exceeded since dental fluorosis may result from continued ingestion of large amounts of fluoride.
When prescribing Escavite LQ Multi-vitamin with Iron and Fluoride 0.25 mg drops:
1) Determine the fluoride content of the drinking water from all major sources.
2) Make sure the child is not receiving significant amounts of fluoride from other sources such as medications and swallowed toothpaste.
3) Periodically check to make sure that the child does not develop significant dental fluorosis.
Escavite LQ Multi-vitamin with Iron and Fluoride 0.25 mg drops should be dispensed in the original plastic container, since contact with glass leads to instability and precipitation. (The amount of sodium fluoride in the 50-mL size is well below the maximum to be dispensed at one time according to recommendations of the American Dental Association.)
Drug Reactions: Do not eat or drink dairy products within one hour of fluoride administration. Incompatibility of fluoride with dairy foods has been reported due to formation of calcium fluoride which is poorly absorbed.
Adverse reactions:
Allergic rash and other idiosyncrasies have been rarely reported. To report adverse side effects or to obtain product information, contact GM Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-888-535-0305.
Keep out of reach of children.
Storage:
Store at 25 degrees C (77 degrees F); excursions permitted to 15-30 degrees C (59-86 degrees F). See USP controlled room temperature. Protect from light and moisture. Close tightly after each use.
How supplied:
Escavite LQ Multi-Vitamin with Iron and Fluoride 0.25 mg drops is an orange to dark orange liquid with an orange odor available in 50 mL bottles with accompanying calibrated dropper.
Occasional deepening of color has no significant effect on vitamin potency.
While taking drops with iron, a slight darkening of the teeth may occur. Brushing will minimize this temporary condition.
