What alternatives do you recommend for oral dexamethasone solution for HN cancer?

I have been using oral dexamethasone with great relief in the second-line treatment after BMX. However, there is a national shortage with no anticipated resolution.

For oral mucositis, I would try MuGard. Be aware it is expensive, so often requires auth for approval. You can also try Carafate suspension qid.
