Each mouthwash usually contains an antibiotic, an antihistamine, an antifungal, a corticosteroid, and an antacid. Common ingredients used in magic mouthwash formulations include:

• Diphenhydramine – an antihistamine that can reduce inflammation and pain. Diphenhydramine is marketed commercially as Benadryl.

Mary's Magic Mouthwash

My radiation doctor wrote a prescription for me for Mary's Magic Mouthwash. When I went to the pharmacy to pick it up, I was informed that it was not covered under my health insurance plan. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance. We have a great plan. Has anyone else ran into this problem? One would think that as much as this drug is used that it would be covered. I am fortunate to have the ability to pay for it out of pocket. I know there are people that can't.

This witch is believed to have the ability to tap into these energies and bend them to her will, using incantations to achieve her goals. In many cultures, witches have been portrayed as both mystical healers and feared dark sorceresses. They use their knowledge of incantations to heal the sick, bring fortune and luck, create love and desire, or even to curse and harm their enemies.

I had magic mouthwash too. The reason it wasn't covered under my plan is it is a compounded prescription J oanne.

Call BCBS we had the same problem. Call Blue Cross Pharmacy number on back of card. You may also have to get the pharmacy to call them directl. Blue Cross WILL cover it but it has to be entered differently. Good luck. Gotta have the magic mouthwash!!

We had a similar problem. We We had a similar problem. We don't have BCBS insurance, but when we went to CVS (our regular pharmacy) to fill the script, they said our insurance would not cover it and they would not make it for us anyway. So we went to Walgreens, and not only did they make it, but they gave us the first bottle for free! Our insurance covered the rest under our plan. So maybe just try a different pharmacy too.

Update on Mary's Magic Mouthwash I contacted Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois. Here is their response "The mouthwash was not covered as it is not a covered prescription drug under your plan coverage. This item is not listed on the drug list and is considered as non-formulary. Therefore the cost of the mouthwash would be the wholesale cost." My pharmacy charges me the wholesale price.

Unbelievable I think I'd have to ask for a supervisor. We have BCBS of Georgia and were told that, as a cancer patient, if one ingredient was covered the entire mixture was covered. The pharmacist just needed to enter it coded differently. My husband could not have survived without it. Formulary or not they have to make some concession. Our pharmacy CVS would have charged $65 if it wasn't covered.

What is magic mouthwash?

Magic mouthwash is a treatment that some doctors prescribe to treat oral mucositis. This condition is a severe inflammation of the lining of the mouth. Various other medications combine to make the ingredients in magic mouthwash.

Oral mucositis is a common side effect of cancer treatments, especially radiation for head and neck cancer. While some studies support the use of magic mouthwash, others do not. Some expert organizations also warn of its dangers.

Magic mouthwash is a product that compounding pharmacies usually make.

Compounding a medication means that a pharmacist combines specific amounts of several commercially available medications to create a new medication. A doctor will write the prescription, which may look more like a recipe, for a compounded medication.

Other names for magic mouthwash include “Duke’s magic mouthwash” or “Mary’s magic mouthwash.”

Magic mouthwash usually contains:

• nystatin, an antifungal medication
• hydrocortisone, a steroid to reduce inflammation
• diphenhydramine, which can help dry out the mouth.

According to the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy, the specific mixture for magic mouthwash contains the following:

• 30 milliliters (ml) of nystatin suspension at 100,000 units/ml, or 3 million units of nystatin powder
• 60 milligrams hydrocortisone
• enough diphenhydramine HCL syrup to bring the total volume up to 240 ml

A person will usually store the mixture in a refrigerator. Most people should not use a formulation once 14 days have passed since the pharmacist first mixed the solution.

However, some recipes for magic mouthwash can vary. Sometimes, a pharmacy will add viscous lidocaine, which has a numbing effect.

Other times, they will add an antacid or other medication that coats the mouth’s lining to reduce discomfort. Examples include kaolin, aluminum or magnesium hydroxide, or sucralfate.

A pharmacy may supply magic mouthwash in small containers for individual use or a large container from which a person will pour each dose.

The typical administration is about 30 ml every 4–6 hours. A person may use a syringe to pull up the medication, or they may have a small measuring cup.

Magic mouthwash is only suitable for swishing in the mouth before a person spits it out. They should never drink the mouthwash.

The exact directions of use may vary, depending on the pharmacy compounding the mouthwash or the prescribing doctor. However, this is a general guide on using magic mouthwash:

1. Obtain the correct dose of magic mouthwash, either by syringe, spoon, or measuring cup.
2. Pour the liquid into the mouth.
3. Swish the liquid in the mouth from side to side or in a swirling pattern for at least 1 minute. Setting a phone timer can help ensure that a person uses the mouthwash long enough.
4. Spit out the mouthwash. Do not rinse the mouth after spitting, as this could reduce the medication’s effectiveness by washing away the mouthwash remnants.
5. Refrain from eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after using the mouthwash to maximize its effects.

Using or ingesting too much of the mouthwash can cause a person to experience nausea or numbness in the throat afterward.

Doctors usually prescribe magic mouthwash to reduce symptoms of oral mucositis. This condition can cause severe side effects, including bleeding ulcers in the mouth and significant oral pain. As a result, some people may not be able to eat or drink because their mouth hurts so much.

According to the Oncology Nursing Society, more than one-third of people undergoing cancer treatments discontinue the treatment responsible for mucositis due to the severity of their symptoms. Doctors may prescribe magic mouthwash and other solutions to try to help people continue to tolerate their treatments.

While the concept that magic mouthwash could help treat mucositis may be good in theory, researchers have not proven its effectiveness.

A 2016 randomized, double-blind study comparing magic mouthwash with another mouthwash and a placebo found that the magic mouthwash preparation was more effective than the placebo in reducing radiation-related mucositis pain.

The researchers asked the participants questions about pain reduction straight after they used the mouthwash and at intervals until 4 hours after using it. The researchers found that the participants tolerated the mouthwash well.

An older 2011 randomized study did not find magic mouthwash plus sucralfate to be more effective than another mouthwash type that included the medication benzydamine hydrochloride.

This study focused on whether the mouthwash could prevent oral mucositis. Therefore, the participants used the mouthwash both before and during their radiation treatments, rather than just during treatment.

Differences in formulations and uses for magic mouthwash — for example, treatment vs. prevention — make it difficult to conclude whether it is effective.

Magic mouthwash can cause several side effects. These include:

• changes in taste sensations
• dryness
• irritation
• nausea
• pain
• soreness

If a person uses magic mouthwash and experiences these or other unwanted symptoms, they should stop using the mouthwash and call their doctor. The doctor can recommend how they should proceed or prescribe another oral mucositis treatment.

Magic mouthwash is one example of a compounded mouthwash that doctors may prescribe to treat oral mucositis. Other options include:

• “Pink lady”: This mouthwash contains an antacid suspension (usually Maalox) and viscous lidocaine.
• “Noll’s solution”: This mouthwash contains diphenhydramine, nystatin, dexamethasone (another steroid type), and tetracycline (an antibiotic).

Doctors may also prescribe oral antibiotics or antifungal medications to reduce infection risks from ulcers. They may also prescribe pain-relieving medications to reduce the incidence of mucositis pain, allowing patients to continue with their cancer treatments.

The power of their incantations is often said to be derived from a deep connection to nature and the spiritual realms. To become a Witch of Incantations, one is believed to undergo rigorous training and study. This includes learning ancient texts, mastering the pronunciation and wording of spells, and cultivating a strong understanding of the underlying principles of magic. It is also said that a witch must possess a certain level of inherent magical ability or be initiated into the craft by another experienced witch. Throughout history, witches have been both revered and reviled, often being persecuted and feared by society. However, in recent years, the image of the witch has undergone a transformation. Many people now view witches as symbols of female empowerment, self-discovery, and spirituality. The Witch of Incantations continues to captivate the human imagination, representing the timeless desire to harness the forces of the unknown and transform our reality. Whether seen as a mythical figure or a reflection of our own inner selves, the Witch of Incantations remains a powerful archetype that continues to inspire and intrigue us..
