What are Compounded Prescription Mouthwashes Used For?
Prescription mouthwashes are used to treat mouth sores also known as oral mucositis. These mouth sores are usually caused by cancer chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. There may be other causes or reasons for using a compounded prescription mouthwash. For example, oral surgeries and thrush.
Since these mouth sores can be very painful and disrupt eating and drinking it is important to treat the mouth sores. Prescription mouthwashes can relieve the pain caused by oral mucositis.
These mouth rinses may also be used to treat damage or sores in the throat and esophagus as well. In these cases the mouthwash may also be swallowed.
If a mouthwash is to be swallowed, special consideration needs to be given to the active ingredients in the preparation. Our pharmacists have specialized knowledge and experience with regards to the ingredients that can be used.
Magic Mouthwash Formulas / Recipes
The active ingredients in the recipes for compounded prescription mouthwashes can vary depending on the degree of ulceration and redness in the tissues of the mouth and the other symptoms needing to be treated.

“Forty institutions returned surveys during the study period.
The top five ingredients used to compound the magic mouthwash are diphenhydramine (Benadryl), viscous lidocaine, magnesium hydroxide/aluminum hydroxide, nystatin and corticosteroids.
Most institutions administer the mouthwash every 4 hours (36%) or every 6 hours (36%).”

Magic Mouthwash Instructions
Note: Always follow your specific directions as prescribed by your doctor.
Depending on the type of mouthwash / mouthrinse you have been prescribed, your specific instructions will vary.
Generally, these mouthwashes are either swished and then spit out or they are swished and then swallowed (swallowing is more common if there are issues with the esophagus). Do NOT swallow the mouthwash unless instructed by your doctor.
Most commonly 5 to 10mL (or 5 to 15mL) are swished for 1 to 2 minutes two to four times a day. The frequency may be at shorter intervals depending on the needs of the patient. Also, we do see volumes up to 30mL used per dose if required.
