They stated that fluoridation is medical treatment and therefore should be subject to medicinal risk assessment, as has been demanded of the European Commission by MEPs and European Parliament committees for years.

Press release
Dublin, 11 June 2010
Clane GP, Dr Andrew Rynne, alerted the European medicines regulator (EMEA), and all other national competent medicinal authorities across the EU, on 1st June 2010 to the adverse reaction of dental fluorosis in the paediatric population in Ireland. The alert was issued under rules governing adverse reactions to medicines in Europe (EudraCT) and is linked to the use of the industrial chemical hydrofluosilicic acid in drinking water. Administration of hydrofluosilicic acid is not medically authorised and continues despite flagrant infringement of theClinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC). Recital 18 of this directive requires the Irish medicines regulator to issue a notice of suspension to cease the trial because its continuation involves an unacceptable level of risk. (more…)
