multivitamins + fluoride

Multivitamins + fluoride is an oral combination dietary supplement product used primarily in infants and children to prevent or treat vitamin deficiency associated with inadequate intake and to reduce the risk of dental caries in areas with low fluoride concentrations in drinking water. The product contains a multivitamin mixture together with fluoride, typically supplied as sodium fluoride, in formulations such as liquid drops and chewable tablets with fluoride strengths including 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1 mg. Its pharmacologic rationale is nutritional replacement plus caries prophylaxis: the vitamin components replenish essential micronutrients, while fluoride is incorporated into developing and erupted tooth enamel to promote formation of acid-resistant fluorapatite and reduce demineralization. It is marketed under multiple brand names and as generic products from multiple manufacturers, with prescription and over-the-counter availability depending on formulation and jurisdiction.
