Severe mouth sores, stomatitis, oral irritation, and mucositis can make eating, drinking, and even talking extremely painful. For many patients, over-the-counter rinses simply aren’t strong enough to provide meaningful relief. That’s where Compounded Magic Mouthwash comes in.
At Wellness Compounding Pharmacy, we prepare custom formulations of Magic Mouthwash tailored to your doctor’s prescription—providing targeted, fast-acting relief for people experiencing severe oral discomfort.
Magic Mouthwash is a prescription-only compounded medication designed to relieve pain, inflammation, and infection inside the mouth. Because it’s compounded, pharmacists can customize the exact ingredients and strengths to match a patient’s specific needs.
Common ingredients may include:
Anesthetic (Lidocaine) – numbs pain
Antihistamine (Diphenhydramine) – reduces inflammation and discomfort.
Antacid (Magnesium/Aluminum Hydroxide) – helps coat irritated mouth tissue.
Antibiotic or Antifungal (optional) – prevents or treats infection.
Steroid (optional) – reduces severe inflammation.
Your doctor chooses the formula based on your condition, and our pharmacists compound it fresh for maximum effectiveness.
Magic Mouthwash is used to relieve symptoms of:
Oral Mucositis
Common in patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation (chemo mouth sores), mucositis causes painful inflammation and ulceration. Magic Mouthwash helps numb pain and promote healing.
Severe Mouth Ulcers / Canker Sores
For frequent or deep ulcers, compounded mouthwash provides stronger relief than OTC options.
Sore Throat or Oral Irritation
Some formulations help reduce burning, stinging, and inflammation.
Infections or Fungal Overgrowth (depending on ingredients)
If needed, your provider may include antifungal or antibacterial agents.
Autoimmune or Chronic Conditions
Patients with lupus, Behcet’s disease, Crohn’s, or other inflammatory conditions may benefit.
The anesthetic component works within minutes to numb painful sores and reduce discomfort.
