Hello Kirkman--
I have carefully considered your question, researched it, and have
your answer. This process took several days, mainly because it took
most of that time for the Food & Drug Administration to find the
information we were looking for to confirm the manufacturers.
First, I conducted a Google search for the following terms: "sodium
fluoride" tablet manufacturer
You may view the results of my search online. The link is
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22sodium+fluoride%22+tablet+manufacturer&btnG=Google+Search
I also conducted a Google search for the following terms: "sodium fluoride tablets"
You may view the results of this search online. The link is
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22sodium+fluoride+tablets%22
Further, I conducted a Google search for the following terms: "sodium
fluoride tablets" manufacturer
You may view the results of this search online. The link is
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22sodium+fluoride+tablets%22+manufacturer&btnG=Google+Search
Many of those who are claiming to be manufacturers are actually only
distributors. They are companies like AmericaRX, which is a
board-registered pharmacist but online claims to also make sodium
fluoride tablets in the strengths you're seeking. You may access this
information online. The link is

Then online, I located the following manufacturer of such sodium fluoride tablets:
Colgate-Hoyt Laboratories
575 University Ave.
Norwood, MA 02092
1-800-225-3756
Luride 0.25mg F Lozi-Tabs. 120 tablets per bottle Description: Each

120 tablets per bottle Description: Each tablet contains 0.50 mg
fluoride from 1.1 mg sodium fluoride. Cost: Wholesale is $4.53, and

Description: Each tablet contains 1.00 mg fluoride from 2.2 mg sodium
fluoride. Cost: Wholesale is $4.45, and retail is $7.20. Luride Dosage
and Administration
I then contacted the Food & Drug Administration directly to find out
your answer direct from them. You may follow up with them at
301-827-4570.
After a couple days of pondering the issue, they finally responded
this morning with information that there are two FDA-licensed
manufacturers who make bulk sodium fluoride tablets in the United
States. The first is Colgate-Palmolive, listed above. The second is
Lilly, more formally known as Eli Lilly.
The FDA gave me their contact information as the following:
