Brief Report
Elevated fluoride levels and periostitis in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients receiving long-term voriconazole

Voriconazole is a fungicidal drug which contains fluoride.  It is often maintained that the fluoride in such drugs is not bio-available. In this case, however, it is present in blood plasma and seems to have incorporated with bone material and caused skeletal fluorosis.  Yet another glorious achievement for Big Pharma.

http://www.rxlist.com/vfend-drug.htm shows the molecular structure as containing 3 fluoride atoms.  C₁₆H₁₄F₃N₅O

The report is useful in that it demonstrates that fluoride causes skeletal fluorosis - in this case in a child.
