What is Magic Mouthwash?

Magic Mouthwash, also known as Miracle Mouthwash or Oral Suspension, is a versatile prescription medication used to treat various oral conditions. Here at Preston’s Pharmacy, we understand how frustrating mouth sores can be, so let’s explore what magic mouthwash is, how it helps, and why getting it from your trusted pharmacist at Preston’s might be the best course of action.

Magic mouthwash isn’t a brand name, but rather a term for a customized prescription rinse made by compounding pharmacies. It typically combines several medications to target different aspects of mouth sores:

  • Anesthetics: Numb the area to provide pain relief.
  • Antiseptics: Fight bacteria and other microbes that can worsen sores.
  • Steroids: Reduce inflammation and swelling.
  • Antacids: Help neutralize mouth acidity, promoting healing.

What Does Magic Mouthwash Help With?

Magic mouthwash is most commonly prescribed to treat mouth sores caused by:

  • Cancer treatments: Chemotherapy and radiation can wreak havoc on the delicate tissues in your mouth.
  • Dental procedures: Certain procedures like braces or extractions can leave you with temporary soreness.
  • Viral infections: Canker sores or cold sores can be soothed by magic mouthwash.

Prevention vs. Treatment

Magic mouthwash is primarily a treatment for existing mouth sores. However, good oral hygiene practices are crucial for preventing them in the first place. Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and using a gentle mouthwash can all help. By using Magic Mouthwash regularly during cancer treatment, patients may experience reduced pain and discomfort in the mouth, allowing them to maintain better nutrition and hydration throughout their therapy.

In addition to its preventative use, Magic Mouthwash can also be used as a treatment for existing oral conditions. The combination of ingredients in Magic Mouthwash works synergistically to soothe oral tissues, reduce inflammation, and fight infection, providing relief for a variety of oral ailments.
