About meridol
meridol is a gum care toothpaste sold through European pharmacies, formulated with amine fluoride and stannous fluoride. Colgate-Palmolive acquired it with the Swiss GABA business in 2004. Amine fluoride spreads across the tooth surface more readily than sodium fluoride, which is the basis of the brand's clinical positioning.
