How does Otoflour Tablet work?

Otoflour Tablet contains Sodium fluoride that strengthens the tooth enamel. It prevents cavity formation by making the enamel resistant to the decay caused by acids and bacteria.

How are cavities formed?

Bacteria, food, acid, and saliva combine in the mouth to form a sticky substance named plaque. The acid in plaque causes damage to the teeth' enamel leading to cavities. Cavities are caused by various factors, such as bacteria in the mouth, sugary drinks, frequent snacking, and not cleaning the teeth well.

Can I take antacids/laxatives/dairy products while using Otoflour Tablet ?

The absorption of sodium fluoride may be get interfered by calcium, magnesium, and aluminium. Hence it is better to maintain an hour gap between sodium fluoride formulations and dairy products (milk, yoghurt), antacids, laxatives, and vitamins/minerals.
