What It Is

What Is Magic Mouthwash?

Magic mouthwash is a compounded oral rinse that combines three medications to relieve pain and irritation in the mouth and throat. It is commonly prescribed for patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, those with severe mouth sores, and patients recovering from dental procedures. Because it contains prescription ingredients, it must be prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy — it is not available over the counter.

Diphenhydramine
Antihistamine / Analgesic

Reduces local inflammation and provides mild pain relief. The same active ingredient as Benadryl, in a topical oral formulation.

Viscous Lidocaine
Topical Anesthetic

Numbs the lining of the mouth and throat on contact, providing fast temporary pain relief for sores and ulcers.

Maalox (Antacid)
Coating Agent

Coats and soothes the irritated tissue lining, helping the other ingredients stay in contact longer while protecting the mucosal surface.

Who Needs It

Conditions Magic Mouthwash Treats

Magic mouthwash is most commonly prescribed for patients with painful mouth conditions, particularly those caused by cancer treatment:

Oral mucositis from chemotherapy
Mouth sores from radiation therapy
Canker sores (aphthous ulcers)
Sore throat and throat irritation
Post-dental procedure pain
Gum disease-related pain
Mucositis from bone marrow transplant
Oral thrush-related soreness
A valid prescription is required Magic mouthwash contains viscous lidocaine, a prescription medication. Your oncologist, dentist, primary care physician, or ENT can prescribe it. Providers can fax directly to our pharmacy at (313) 899-7389.
