Compounded Magic Mouthwash: What It Is, How It Works, and Who Can Benefit

Mouth sores, 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.

What Is Compounded Magic Mouthwash?

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.

What Conditions Does Magic Mouthwash Help With?

Magic Mouthwash is used to relieve symptoms of:

Oral Mucositis

Common in patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, 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.
