Oral mucositis is one of the most common and debilitating side
effects of cancer treatment1
Welcome to the Caphosol (supersaturated calcium phosphate rinse)
website, designed to educate you about one of the most common and
debilitating side effects of cancer treatment called oral
mucositis.
This site aims to help you better understand oral mucositis and
to make you aware of a treatment that can help you manage the
painful effects of oral mucositis.
Oral mucositis is a painful side effect of some cancer therapies
that is under-estimated and under-treated. By starting
Caphosol at the start of cancer therapy you can reduce the
occurrence, duration and severity of oral mucositis - mouth sores
that can make swallowing and continued therapy challenging or
impossible.
Caphosol is the only prescription mouth rinse that is
clinically proven to decrease the incidence and severity of oral
mucositis.15 Using Caphosol as directed at the
start of cancer therapy will lubricate and clean the mouth, tongue
and throat. It loosens tough mucus and prevents build-up in your
throat - so you are more comfortable drinking, chewing and
speaking.
