What is Sodium Fluoride (18f)?

Sodium Fluoride, the active ingredient in Iasonfluoride, is a fluoride presented as a solution for injection for intravenous use. It is employed to correct systemic fluoride deficiency and to help prevent dental caries in individuals at risk.

GNH USA supplies Iasonfluoride as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, clinics and procurement agencies worldwide, adhering to EU quality standards and providing reliable cold‑chain logistics for injectable products. The company ensures batch traceability, regulatory compliance and on‑time delivery to support patient care across diverse health systems.

What is Sodium Fluoride (18f) used for?

Iasonfluoride, a systemic fluoride preparation, is used in clinical situations that involve fluoride deficiency or high risk of tooth decay. - Fluoride deficiency: restores normal systemic fluoride levels to support bone and tooth mineralization. - Prevention of dental caries: reduces incidence of enamel demineralization and promotes remineralization in patients prone to cavities. - High‑risk dental patients: provides supplemental fluoride to individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment or with reduced salivary flow.

What are the side effects of Sodium Fluoride (18f)?

Iasonfluoride may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate feeling of sickness. - Vomiting: occasional episodes following infusion. - Abdominal pain: transient discomfort in the stomach area. - Headache: mild headache during or after administration. - Injection site pain: local tenderness or erythema at the infusion site. - Mild hyperfluorosis: temporary skin discoloration or mottling.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe hyperfluorosis: systemic toxicity with bone pain and joint stiffness. - Cardiac arrhythmia: irregular heart rhythm potentially requiring monitoring. - Hypotension: significant drop in blood pressure during infusion. - Anaphylaxis: acute allergic reaction with respiratory distress. - Renal toxicity: impaired kidney function in susceptible patients. - Severe allergic reaction: urticaria, angioedema, or bronchospasm.

What precautions apply to Sodium Fluoride (18f)?

Prior to using Iasonfluoride, clinicians should consider several safety measures to minimise risk. - Renal function: assess baseline kidney function and adjust use in renal impairment. - Pregnancy: avoid unless benefit outweighs potential risk, as safety data are limited. - Pediatric use: dose must be individualized; monitor growth and fluoride exposure. - Calcium supplements: avoid concurrent high‑dose calcium which may reduce fluoride efficacy. - Extravasation: monitor infusion site and stop if leakage occurs. - Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

What does Sodium Fluoride (18f) interact with?

Iasonfluoride can interact with other medicines, altering its effectiveness or safety profile.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Calcium‑containing antacids: form insoluble complexes that reduce fluoride absorption. - Tetracycline antibiotics: chelate fluoride ions, decreasing antimicrobial activity. - High‑dose vitamin D: may increase systemic fluoride retention and risk of toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - NSAIDs: concurrent use may affect renal clearance of fluoride. - Loop diuretics: can modify electrolyte balance and influence fluoride excretion. - ACE inhibitors: may potentiate hypotensive effects during infusion.

Frequently asked questions

What is Iasonfluoride used for?+
Iasonfluoride is a sterile sodium fluoride solution for intravenous administration. It is prescribed to correct systemic fluoride deficiency and to provide supplemental fluoride for the prevention of dental caries in patients who are at increased risk of tooth decay.
How does sodium fluoride work in the body?+
Sodium fluoride releases fluoride ions that become incorporated into the crystal structure of tooth enamel, forming fluorapatite, which is more resistant to acid attack. The ions also promote the remineralisation of early lesions and can inhibit bacterial enzymes that contribute to plaque formation.
What is the usual dose of Iasonfluoride?+
The dose of Iasonfluoride is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, renal function and the specific therapeutic goal. No fixed regimen is provided here; the prescriber sets the appropriate dosage and infusion rate.
Is Iasonfluoride safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Iasonfluoride in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I order Iasonfluoride from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain handling) and any necessary import documentation.
How does Iasonfluoride compare with other fluoride products?+
Iasonfluoride delivers fluoride systemically via intravenous infusion, offering rapid and controlled plasma levels, whereas oral fluoride tablets, gels or rinses act locally in the oral cavity and depend on patient compliance. Intravenous delivery is typically reserved for patients with severe deficiency or those unable to use oral forms.
How should I store and handle Iasonfluoride?+
Iasonfluoride must be stored at 2‑8 °C in a refrigerator. Keep the vial in its original packaging, protect it from light, and avoid freezing or shaking. Inspect the solution for particulate matter before use and discard if the container is compromised.
How is Iasonfluoride administered?+
The product is administered by slow intravenous infusion under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. The infusion rate and total volume are set by the prescriber, and the patient should be monitored for any adverse reactions during and after the administration.
What are the most serious risks associated with Iasonfluoride?+
Serious adverse events include severe hyperfluorosis, which can cause bone pain and joint stiffness, anaphylactic reactions, significant hypotension during infusion, cardiac arrhythmias, and renal toxicity in patients with pre‑existing kidney impairment. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these occur.
Who should not use Iasonfluoride?+
Iasonfluoride is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to sodium fluoride or any excipients, and in those with severe renal impairment where fluoride clearance is markedly reduced. Caution is also advised for individuals with uncontrolled cardiac conditions or a history of severe allergic reactions.
