Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 Hi Everyone! As promised, I said that I would find out what type of treatment my periodonist prescribes for internal mouth sores caused from the higher doses of methotrexate. Please remember to check with your oncologist or your rhuemy to obtain the prescription for treatment. The two ingredients for his magic potion are - Temovate ointment and Plain Orabase (MTD - made to dispense) prescribed in 15 grams each to be applied with a q-tip to the sore. The Orabase acts as a dressing to keep the Temovate in place. He recommends the treatment be applied 3-4 times per day and should be stored in the refrigerator. He has had several cancer patients that have been able to eat following one day of this treatment. If any of your doctors have questions relative to this treatment, you can e-mail me or call me direct and I'll give you my doctor's name and phone number. He said he'd be glad to answer any questions. Hope this info helps those who need it. Take care, be well and think positive .... we can beat the blasted beasties!
