Magic mouthwash may refer to a number of different formulations to be used as a mouthwash. Depending on the specific formulation, a magic mouthwash may treat infection, inflammation, and/or pain. Typically, magic mouthwashes are prescribed to treat the pain associated with oral ulcers caused by radiation therapy or chemotherapy. In rare cases, generally in the military, pharmacies will occasionally administer this as a preventative measure for gonorrhea of the throat.
Magic mouthwashes are typically compounded in a pharmacy from a number of ingredients specified in the prescription. A recipe should always be specified in a prescription, since there is no definitive recipe for "magic mouthwash". Before preparing a magic mouthwash, one should check for interactions between the ingredients.
