Mouthwash Compounding “MAGIC MOUTHWASH”
Mouthwash Compounding is also often referred to as Magic Mouthwash and is typically prescribed by a physician to help patients with discomfort associated with oral pain. This can be caused by oral ulcers, mucositis, aphthous ulcers, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Some Facts About Magic Mouthwash
Many different types of ingredients can be configured depending on which kind of treatment is needed as per individual. To ensure a highly successful healing rate it is best to always have a physician prescribe the correct formula to the pharmacist as each and every individual may have allergies or specific needs which may require some modifications implemented by the pharmacist.
Some Key Ingredients:
ANTACIDS – Maalox is typically used to soothe the stomach lining which in turn coats the inside of the mouth in oral use.
STEROIDS – Has an anti-inflammatory agent (corticosteroids). This can aid in the reduction of inflammation and swelling of the gums.
ANTIHISTAMINES – Diphenhydramine or lidocaine can also aid in reducing swelling and pain associated with oral discomfort.
