title: Effect of dichloromethylene diphosphonate on fluoride balance in healthy men.
abstract: Healthy men with a daily intake of 0.37 mg fluoride were given dichloromethylene diphosphonate (Cl2MDP) or a placebo during a period of ambulation followed by bed rest. In both groups, serum ionic fluoride was unchanged, and fluoride balances were negative, but Cl2MDP significantly reduced loss of fluoride in the treated groups.
