so, I received a new prescription for Duraphat 5000, and was given Morningside 5000.. I know it's basically the same thing, but just wondering whether anyone else has come across this.. is this a more cost effective product? makes no difference to me, but just wondering, especially after the nonsense we went through with Bioxtra/Biotene. I haven't tried it yet, but hopefully it will not be as harsh as Duraphat, as I know a lot of folks couldn't tolerate Duraphat for long periods.
Hi Loz....it's the same but I think it's cheaper

Normally given Duraphat, occasionally Flouritop, probably cheaper generic, does the same thing...

Hi it’s the same duraphat is the named one mornjng side is the generic brand ie its cheaper. I have had it early on in treatment I thought but was a tad harsher but in reality it’s the same. As I e been guven it occasionally when duraphat has been out of stock it didn’t affect me a few years ago. It’s a money saving option
