About Caphosol

Scientifically Proven to Reduce the Incidence,
Duration and Pain of Oral Mucositis^7, ¹¹

Caphosol^® prescription mouth rinse can help moisten the mouth and improve the symptoms of oral mucositis (OM). Caphosol is the only prescription mouth rinse that is clinically proven to decrease the incidence and severity of oral mucositis - reducing the duration and the pain.^7, ¹¹ 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.

Caphosol is rich in both calcium and phosphate ions. It works by lubricating the mouth - keeping it clean and moist - and making food easier to swallow.⁷
Using Caphosol every day from the start of cancer treatment helps reduce oral mucositis and treats it if it has already begun.
Rinse with Caphosol at least 4 times per day - up to 10 times per day if the pain increases - or as directed by your doctor.
Reported side effects with Caphosol have been rare and generally mild.
