Abstract

Radiation therapy is offered as a treatment option for head and neck cancer, but often results in dry mouth.
Pilocarpine has been used for treating dry mouth caused by radiation therapy.
We report a case of dry mouth relieved by ethyl loflazepate and Rebamipide after chemoradiation therapy, for which Pilocarpine did not work.
