Re: listerine to prevent canker sores

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine who does medical research and worked with an RA study advised

me to start swishing my mouth with listerine a couple of times a day when she

heard I was starting methotrexate. She said it is yucchy, but it will keep

germs at bay and help me keep from forming sores in my mouth. I don't have any

sores yet, but I've only been on methotrexate two weeks.

I have recently gone back on Methrotrexate after an 8 year break. As a

result I am currently plagued with canker sores on the walls of my

mouth and on my tongue. I am taking folic acid and llyscine for them,

but they really never go away. I have stopped taking Methro to give

mouth a brake. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Biotene toothpaste is really good for not aggrevating the sores and

helping to keep the right balance.

I agree! I used biotene mouthwash & toothpaste while on chemo, and

they really helped. Now I just use the mouthwash, especially in winter.
