'Multivitamin W/FL 0.5mg/ml Oral Drp' is a pediatric liquid supplement that not only assists with a child's vitamin and mineral intake, it also strengthens teeth with fluoride. Side effects can occur, ranging from mild upset stomachs to severe allergic reactions that require immediate medical attention. I've heard mixed reviews about this supplement, so I'm curious to know: what has your experience been? Does the ease of use (since it's liquid) outweigh the potential risks? How do you handle giving your kids medicine anyway? Do you find it necessary to give a child a liquid multivitamin, or do you opt for a different type of supplement? To me, any supplement that contains fluoride seems great for preventing cavities. Do you know if it's as good as you'd expect? Also, do you know if this works well for kids who are finicky eaters? I could really use some advice.

I've read that fluoride can also be harmful if ingested in excess. Have any of you ever had any problems like that?

My kid had a bad reaction to it—red skin, itching, all that. Scary stuff. We had to rush to the ER. Now we stick to plain old food.

It's convenient for young kids who can't swallow pills, but I wish it tasted better. My son makes a face every time. Even mixing with juice doesn't help much.

I tried this with my picky eater. It was a nightmare! I switched to chewable vitamins.

I have to say, it's been a lifesaver for us. Our daughter has a sensitive stomach, and this seems to agree with her better than the chewables we tried first. We've also noticed her teeth seem stronger, according to the dentist. Plus, the fluoride really does help. We had a ton of problems with cavities with other kids so I'm glad this works. Getting the right dosage is tricky, though—you have to be careful with the dropper.
