You would not find fluoride in any medicine except for vitamins with fluoride. Not that I know of, anyway. There are many other medications that cause discoloration, such as some antibiotics, though.

Yes, fluoride can cause tose white spots on your teeth when it is taken in excessive amount.
Zimmafluor is one of the fluoride medicines.

Flouride is chemically created and is NOT good for you. It is one of the most harmful things women unknowingly take while pregnant. It's in our water and toothpaste and should NOT BE...
My brother-in-law is a dentist, and when I was pregnant with my boys he strongly discouraged me from taking flouride supplements while pregnant. I thought he was crazy and with my oldest, I did in fact take it dispite his advice. Then I read up more on it.
There is a book called "Natural Cures They Don't Want Us To Know About" In that book I read the truth about flouride and many other things we take... WOW!!!
