Ministry of Public Health notice No. 37 (dated 6 August 2026) classes toothpaste with 5,000 ppm fluoride for oral use as a dangerous drug. The FDA says toothpaste up to 1,500 ppm stays a cosmetic, so everyday products are unaffected. The 5,000 ppm version is meant for high-risk patients, such as those after oral radiotherapy, on a dentist's or pharmacist's advice, and not for children under 12. For a shop or pharmacy, this means 5,000 ppm products fall under drug sales rules. Check your stock and make sure staff can answer customer questions.
