http://www.mugard.com/We were able to receive help with receiving MuGard by talking to a very pleasant representative named Bonnie, please send me a PM if you would like the number.
MuGard is most effective if started early ... ideally with the very first radiation treatment. Try to get started on it right away. Three weeks ago my son completed 35-rads/6-cisplatin for SSC of left aryepiglottic fold and used MuGard from beginning of treatments. He did not get any mouth sores. His regimen was to eat then brush & floss then swish with baking soda/salt solution then coat the mouth with MuGard by moving it around all oral surfaces for at least a couple of minutes with each use. Wait at least one hour before eating or drinking again after using MuGard. This should be repeated every 3 to 4 hours while awake. Many doctors do not know about this product since it is quite new. Please help spread the word by seeking your doctor's approval to add this to your treatment. A prescription is required and can be facilitated via forms on the product website submitted through your doctor's office.
