Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mucosamin used for?

Mucosamin is used for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Mucositis is a common side effect of cancer treatment that causes the lining of the mouth to become sore and inflamed.

Mucosamin Mouthwash is indicated for:

  • Prevention of oral mucositis, used from the start of radiotherapy or chemotherapy
  • Treatment of oral mucositis due to radiotherapy or chemotherapy
  • Burning mouth syndrome, including burning mouth syndrome secondary to Sjögren's syndrome
  • Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (mouth ulcers)
  • Ulcerative conditions of the mouth, for example pemphigus, pemphigoid and erosive lichen planus
  • After surgical operations on the tongue and oral mucosa

Mucosamin Spray is indicated for:

  • Treatment of oral mucositis due to radiotherapy or chemotherapy

Both products hydrate the oral mucosa and have a protective action on it. The full indications are in each product's Instructions for Use.

Who can use Mucosamin?

Mucosamin can be used by patients experiencing mucositis from cancer treatment, those with dry mouth conditions and burning mouth syndrome.

Can Mucosamin Mouthwash be used in Sjögren's syndrome?

Yes, for the mouth symptoms covered by its Instructions for Use. Mucosamin Mouthwash is indicated for burning mouth syndrome, including burning mouth syndrome secondary to Sjögren's syndrome (also called Sjögren's disease). It is a topical oral solution that hydrates the oral mucosa and has a protective action on it: it forms a film that covers and protects the mucosa, which helps to reduce pain and burning sensations, while its hyaluronic acid and amino acids help the repair of the mucosa.

Use 5-10 ml three or four times a day, keep it in the mouth for at least one minute and do not rinse afterwards.

If you have Sjögren's, your rheumatologist, dentist or GP can advise whether it is suitable for you. It is available on NHS prescription (Drug Tariff Part IXA) and to buy online.

Is there clinical evidence for Mucosamin in burning mouth syndrome?

Yes. A randomised clinical study followed 60 adults with burning mouth syndrome secondary to local causes for one month. Half used the Mucosamin formulation, applied as Mucosamin Spray three times a day, and half used sodium bicarbonate rinses. After 30 days the oral mucosa had improved by at least one grade in 79% of the Mucosamin group compared with 57% of the bicarbonate group; pain fell in both groups, and patient satisfaction was significantly higher with Mucosamin.6

Mucosamin Mouthwash is indicated for burning mouth syndrome, including burning mouth syndrome secondary to Sjögren's syndrome.

What does Mucosamin contain?

Mucosamin contains a patented formulation of sodium hyaluronate and four synthetic amino acids: glycine, L-proline, L-leucine, and L-lysine HCl. These amino acids assist in wound repair protecting healthy tissue (mucosa) from damage whilst supporting wound healing.

How often should I use Mucosamin?

Use three or four times (or more) a day according to the severity of the symptoms.

How should Mucosamin be used?

Mucosamin Mouthwash

  • Gently pour 5-10 ml into the mouth and distribute evenly throughout the oral cavity
  • Keep in the mouth for at least 1 minute. Can be gargled for rear sections
  • Use 3-4 times daily. Spit out excess, do not rinse afterwards
  • Do not drink, eat or rinse your mouth for at least one hour after application

Important: Both Mouthwash and Spray can be used during treatment. Combine with a diet free of spicy or acidic foods.

When should I start using Mucosamin?

Mucosamin can be used throughout your treatment journey. It may be used pre-treatment to help protect the oral mucosa, during treatment for pain relief and symptom management, and post-treatment for healing and recovery.

For optimal prevention, treatment should ideally commence before the start of radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

For dry mouth conditions, Mucosamin can be used when symptoms are present to provide relief and maintain oral comfort.
