Short answer
The typical directions for High-fluoride Rx rinse, sodium fluoride 0.2%, are to swish 10 mL for 1 minute once weekly, then spit it out. Do not swallow it. Your prescribing physician and prescription label set your dose. Follow their directions if they differ from this general schedule.
High-fluoride Rx rinse contains sodium fluoride 0.2%. The typical directions listed for this product are to swish 10 mL for 1 minute once weekly, then spit it out. Do not swallow the rinse. Your prescribing physician and the pharmacy label are the final guides for your dose and schedule.
Use a marked measuring cup or another measuring device recommended by the pharmacy. A kitchen spoon may not measure the dose accurately. Do not use extra rinse or use it more often unless your prescriber tells you to. A stronger or more frequent fluoride routine is not always appropriate.
A licensed physician in your state decides whether this treatment is right for you. Tell them about your dental care, other fluoride products, and any trouble swallowing or spitting. Do not share your prescription with someone else. If the label is unclear or differs from what you expected, ask the prescribing physician or pharmacist before using the rinse.
