FAQs
What is Mucosamin used for?
Mucosamin is used for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis and associated symptoms in patients undergoing cancer treatment (radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy) such as dry mouth conditions.
Mucositis is a common side effect of cancer treatment that causes the lining of your mouth to become sore and inflamed.
Both Mucosamin Mouthwash and Mucosamin Spray are indicated for:
- Oral mucositis induced by cancer treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy or both)
- Dry mouth conditions (xerostomia)
- Burning mouth syndrome
- Oral lesions and inflammation
- Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (mouth ulcers)
Who can use Mucosamin?
Mucosamin can be used by patients experiencing mucositis from cancer treatment, those with dry mouth conditions and burning mouth syndrome.
What does Mucosamin contain?
Mucosamin contains a patented formulation of sodium hyaluronate and four synthetic amino acids: glycine, L-proline, L-leucine, and L-lysine HCl. These amino acids assist in wound repair protecting healthy tissue (mucosa) from damage whilst supporting wound healing.
How often should I use Mucosamin?
Use three or four times (or more) a day according to the severity of the symptoms.
