"Topical application of placebo drug twice daily + oral gargling with povidone iodine (1%), chlorhexidine (0.5%), and nystatin (5,000IU/mL) three times a day.~Application of drugs begins with start of intensive chemotherapy and ends at the time of recovery from neutropenia (ANC\>1000/µL for 3 days) or disappearance of oral mucositis.~For each application of placebo drug, spray total 6 times at palate, oropharynx, both buccal mucosa, tongue, and gingiva."
