Well the original post was a request for dental information but here's the rest of the stuff you should have "pre-positioned". If you really need these and you don't have them on hand - you will be making a trip to the ER to get them, which usually always seems to happen either at night or on the weekend.

1. Anti-emetics - several different ones and compazine suppositories are a great idea as well.

2. Anti-acids, like Pepcid AC

3. Laxatives and stool softeners like Colace

4. Thrush medications like Diflucan and/or Nystatin "swish & spit"

5. "Pink Magic" a compound mixed by the pharmacist with morphine and lidocaine for numbing the mouth - essential for eating and drinking orally with mouth sores

6. Narcotics - long term and short term
- "long" for everday pain such as Duragesic patches or Oxycontin
- "short" for breakthrough pain such as morphine sulphate.

7. Topical lotions for radiation burns like "Radiacare" - some RT departments have samples of this they will give you.

Insure the skin is dry and clear of all lotions before actually receiving your daily RT. Some lotions can have a "bolus" effect where they actually enhance the skin damage.
