"magic mouthwash"?: We can't really answer unless we know what this "magic mouthwash" is, i.e. What its ingredients are. If it's your doc's personal recipe, you may have to get it from him/her. Or ask him/her if there is a commercially available version.

Not really out there: Magic mouthwashes are those rinses for some particular medical situation. Like easing pains from an oral herpes outbreak or ains from shemo and radiation therapies. They mostly have ingredients that have prescription materials in them. With those ingredients...A doctor must give a prescription. And for now the law doesn't allow dispensing without a script r in otc form.

Diagnosis is key...: Magic mouthwash is compounded by a pharmacist according to a doctor's prescription; there are no similar products available for purchase over the counter. Although magic mouthwash can provide symptomatic relief from pain of oral disease, it confers no therapeutic benefit. Because some oral mucous membrane conditions have serious health implications, continued surveillance by a doctor is advisable.
