magic mouthwash/name please

[Maryanne]

Joel started his 2nd chemo treatment yesterday. Keep fingers cross it will not be like the last one. He has to get his neulasta shot today but they are only giving him 1/2 strength so hopefully he will not have the same effect as last month.

Anyway, his mouth is becoming sensitive and this chemo can give mouth sores.

I remember in past posts there was this magic mouthwash that people said works.

Please provide the name of this? I just want to have it in case we need need.

Thanks,

Maryanne

I think we still have some at home from when Alan used it. I am sure someone will

have the answer before I can get home and look at the

bottle, but I will get the name asap and PM you with it.

I hope Joel has an easier time this round. Prayers being said.

Mar,

the pharmacy mixed it up for me on the spot everytime I tried it.

(they weren't very good cooks either..tasted like shi_ and ruined any appetite I may have had)

The last magic mouthwash we got had several ingredients in it. The pharmacies know what to do. I think you need to make sure it isn't a fungal infection, though. Is his tongue white? Blessings!

Hi there,

It was prescribed for my father and a specific combination of medications. We were told it is done this way since each person is different and needs more of one medication etc than another may need. There is no name .......... and it's only available buy perscription.

That does not help me. I don't think a pharmacy like CVS will do that. Does anybody have a name? I need name, people.

call it Magic Mouthwash, Mar. Everyone knows it by that name. ER, Docs, nurses, pharm., patients. We all call it magic mouthwash. If there's another name for it, I don't know what it is.

Okay, magic mouthwash it is, thanks.

I also got a name for a perscription. Debbi was nice enough to check it out as she used it for her husband. This particular one is a perscription.

Just in case anyone is interested:

LIDO MAALOX BENADRYL NYSTATIN

It was perscibed for 1-2 Teaspoons by mouth every 2-4 hours. Swish and swallow

Thanks Debbi, I hope I will not need it.

According to my doctor, Magic Mouthwash is the name. It can be malox with lidocane, benedryl and nystatin. It can be made without the benedryl and it can be made without the nystatin. Seems the most important mixture is malox and lidocane.

Good luck

Tony just used biotene, nystatin, and most of all B-50 vitamins. The onc's office said a patient recommended them and ever since, everyone who has used B-50 has had their mouth sores go away. Tony too!

Good luck,

Welthy
