Prior to working at a pharmacy, I had never heard of Magic Mouthwash. A liquid compound used to treat sore throat? What nonsense. Growing up, I was just told to gargle with warm salt water.
Little did I know, it was actually quite common for someone to be prescribed something that numbs your throat like 'magic.' Shortly after being taught how to compound progesterone suppositories, I was given the recipe for basic Magic Mouthwash. (There are several variations to the mouthwash.)
Viscous Lidocaine
Maalox
Benadryl
Evenly dispensed, the three ingredients are mixed together - shaken until the Lidocaine is all broken up. And then, wa-lah, Magic Mouthwash.
We had so many prescriptions brought in for the mouthwash tonight that I can now make it in my sleep. Maybe the next time we are slow, I will make some to sell on the streets.

now you just have to figure out the ingredients for liquid gold, and you could quit your rx job! :D
hmmm someone b rought that in once and i didn't know that we could compound (because we don't usually at our pharmacy) so i told her we couldn't do it.
then i told my rph and he said he knew how to do it. AHH! oops. oh well.
i wonder why so many people use it?
our popular drug of the week: CHANTIX. weird.
DUDE! Us too. Chantix Starter Kit. Chantix Continue Kit. Etc. It's because the drug rep made his/her rounds this month.
I am suprised at how many insurances cover it, actually.
