Mouth so painful again this month , sores and ulcers on Ibrance and letrozole can anyone recommend anything.

Good morning. I’m on Ibrance and Anastozole and this happens to me from time to time. I cut out sugar and rinse my mouth with salt water. It seems to work. I think there are also really good mouth washes available. I saw it somewhere on the site. Perhaps post on bone mets? It’s an active thread and there’s a lot of good advice x

Hi Anne thanks will try salt rinse couldn’t sleep so painful , yes had a couple of times ,but really bad this month.Thanks for advice ?

Hi Hannah. I’m on the same combo but haven’t suffered from this yet. I’ve just completed my second cycle. However, there’s a dentist on another forum and she says try curasept mouthwash for ulcers. Apparently it’s brilliant.
Hope this helps.

Manuka honey 15+ is working for me. Also great when dabbed on cold sores. Who knew about this? I don’t even like honey!!! X

Hi
I am experiencing mouth ulcers as a side effect of e/e and have been prescribed hydrocortisone 2.5 mgs muco-adhesive tablets - the ulcers healed in 24 hours! . I also was prescribed a mouthwash prescribed to help with pain benzydamine but havnt used that yet as they have healed so quickly xx

I’m also taking Ibrance and letrozole and was getting awful mouth ulcers from cycle 2. I’m on cycle 9 now and haven’t had any for the last two cycles so hopefully they’ve settled down. I was using a spray and mouthwash called Difflam. It worked wonders. If you can’t get hold of any I was also told any alcohol free mouthwash would help to heal them quicker if used a few times a day. Hope this helps
