NCIt synonyms : VCO Mouth Rinse;
NCIt definition : A mouth rinse containing virgin coconut oil (VCO), with potential anti-inflammatory,
anti-microbial and antioxidant activities. Upon rinsing with VCO mouth rinse, the
polyphenols and medium-chain fatty acids, mostly lauric acid, in the VCO mouth rinse
may exert anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antioxidant activities. This may prevent
inflammation of the mucosal membranes and may prevent or reduce the symptoms and severity
of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis.;
