Thank you for your responding. The toothpaste and mouthwash, are they a perscription ? My husband is to the point of asking the Doctor what would be his chances if he quit taking the med. I don't think that would be a very good idea.
Thank you,

Unfortunately the mouth sores are one of the most common side effects. I am on my third round and have had the mouth sores every time. Please tell him to ask his doctor for the prescription mouthwashes, there are 2 of them. They really do help. Also I use a toothpaste called Biotene and also a mouthrinse called Biotene which has a nice minty flavor. Good luck!
