- Fluoride toothpastes of different concentrations for preventing dental caries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Mar-2019
Caries (dental decay) is a disease of the hard tissues of the teeth caused by an imbalance, over time, in the interactions between cariogenic bacteria in dental plaque and fermentable carbohydrates (mainly sugars). Regular toothbrushing with fluoride toot
- Fluoride varnishes for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Feb-2014
Topically-applied fluoride varnishes have been used extensively as an operator-applied caries-preventive intervention for over three decades. This review updates the first Cochrane review of fluoride varnishes for preventing dental caries in children and
- Fluorides for preventing early tooth decay (demineralised lesions) during fixed brace treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Nov-2019
Early dental decay or demineralised lesions (DLs, also known as white spot lesions) can appear on teeth during fixed orthodontic (brace) treatment. Fluoride reduces decay in susceptible individuals, including orthodontic patients. This review compared var
- Fluorine‐18‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT) for the detection of bone, lung, and lymph node metastases in rhabdomyosarcoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2021
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common paediatric soft-tissue sarcoma and can emerge throughout the whole body. For patients with newly diagnosed RMS, prognosis for survival depends on multiple factors such as histology, tumour site, and extent of the
- Fluoropyrimidine‐HAI (hepatic arterial infusion) versus systemic chemotherapy (SCT) for unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jul-2009
Although locoregional treatments such as hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) claim the advantage of delivering higher doses of anticancer agents directly into the metastatic organ as compared to systemic chemotherapy (SCT), the benefit in terms of overall sur
- Fluoroquinolones for treating tuberculosis (presumed drug‐sensitive)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jun-2013
Currently the World Health Organization only recommend fluoroquinolones for people with presumed drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB) who cannot take standard first-line drugs. However, use of fluoroquinolones could shorten the length of treatment and improve
- Fluoroquinolones for treating typhoid and paratyphoid fever (enteric fever)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Nov-2011
Typhoid and paratyphoid are febrile illnesses, due to a bacterial infection, which remain common in many low- and middle-income countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends the fluoroquinolone antibiotics in areas with known resista
- Fluoxetine for adults who are overweight or obese
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Oct-2019
Fluoxetine is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor indicated for major depression. It is also thought to affect weight control: this seems to happen through appetite changes resulting in decreased food intake and normalisation of unusual eating behaviours. Howe
- Fluoxetine versus other types of pharmacotherapy for depression
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jul-2013
Depression is common in primary care and is associated with marked personal, social and economic morbidity, thus creating significant demands on service providers. The antidepressant fluoxetine has been studied in many randomised controlled trials (RCTs)
- Flupenthixol decanoate (depot) for schizophrenia or other similar psychotic disorders
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Jun-2014
Long-acting depot injections of drugs such as flupenthixol decanoate are extensively used as a means of long-term maintenance treatment for schizophrenia.
- Flupenthixol versus low-potency first-generation antipsychotic drugs for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jul-2014
Antipsychotic drugs are the core treatment for schizophrenia. Treatment guidelines state that there is no difference in efficacy between antipsychotic drugs, however, low-potency antipsychotic drugs are sometimes perceived as less efficacious than high-po
- Flupenthixol versus placebo for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Sep-2012
Flupenthixol, first made available in the UK in 1965, has been used as a treatment for schizophrenia for decades.
- Fluphenazine (oral) versus atypical antipsychotics for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Jul-2016
Fluphenazine is a typical antipsychotic drug from the phenothiazine group of antipsychotics. It has been commonly used in the treatment of schizophrenia, however, with the advent of atypical antipsychotic medications, use has declined over the years.
- Fluphenazine (oral) versus placebo for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jun-2018
Fluphenazine is one of the first drugs to be classed as an 'antipsychotic' and has been widely available for five decades.
- Fluphenazine decanoate (depot) and enanthate for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Feb-2016
Intramuscular injections (depot preparations) offer an advantage over oral medication for treating schizophrenia by reducing poor compliance. The benefits gained by long-acting preparations, however, may be offset by a higher incidence of adverse effects.
- Fluphenazine versus low-potency first-generation antipsychotic drugs for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jul-2014
Antipsychotic drugs are the core treatment for schizophrenia. Treatment guidelines state that there is no difference in efficacy between any other antipsychotic compounds, however, low-potency antipsychotic drugs are often perceived as less efficacious th

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Oct-2008
Inhaled fluticasone propionate (FP) is a high-potency inhaled corticosteroid used in the treatment of asthma.
- Fluticasone versus beclomethasone or budesonide for chronic asthma in adults and children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Oct-2007
Beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) and budesonide (BUD) are commonly prescribed inhaled corticosteroids for the treatment of asthma. Fluticasone propionate (FP) is newer agent with greater potency in in-vitro assays.
- Fluticasone versus 'extrafine' HFA‐beclomethasone dipropionate for chronic asthma in adults and children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Apr-2006
The relative efficacy of fluticasone (FP) and beclomethasone (BDP) propelled with CFCs has been well established. The potency of HFA-BDP is thought to have been improved with new propellant and some studies suggest that extra-fine HFA-BDP may be equipoten
