I've never heard of it and I might be the oldest pharmacist on this board! Did you see it written or did you hear it spoken? Could you have misheard it? Can you give any other info on your patient? Is he being treated for pain, congestion, airway obstruction? Perhaps some more context might give us more to go on.

Good to know! This is a local proprietary formula - in my area its called "Stanford Mouthwash" & contains tetracycline suspension. I've known it to be called Mayo Mouthwash also. You won't find it listed by its name since its not an official USP or NF recognized dosage form. But...we have a binder of these formulas for reference. I'll add the name of your solution as a cross reference in case it comes up here. Thanks!

Here it's "Magic Mouthwash". It's a swish and spit thing for relief of pain. The viscous lidocaine in the solution is for topical use only. It is absolutely not to be swallowed.

You can swallow the lidocaine, you're just not supposed to eat or drink for about 1/2 hour afterward.
In AZ, I've heard it called Mary's Mouthwash, Miracle Mouthwash, Magic Mouthwash.....and my personal fav Majik Mouthwash (invented by one of my old PA's...she was so full of herself and had to make her "own" thing 🙄 )
Edit: Yes, they are all slightly different...but essentially the same thing.

I've heard of it as Magic Mouthwash too.
WE make it alot being very close to Rosewell cancer park in Buffalo, NY. Here it is called BMX (benedryl, maloxx, xylocaine). I love to pour the 3 in the bottle very slowly so there are 3 distinct layers before i shake it up.

hmmmm...I've worked a long time in hospitals & have never seen this used for GI upset. I can't even begin to figure out what the rationale would be for lidocaine in a GI upset & I'm reaching with Benadryl (perhaps for the antiemetic se, but w/ H2 blockers - why this?) Thats not to say your ER doesn't use it....there are just sooo many other drugs for GI upset. However, a combination of similar ingredients is accepted therapy for post radiation mouth irritation. Specifically, Stanford Mouthwash is lidocaine, chlortrimeton (just a different antihistamine than Benadryl), tetracycline (sometimes optioned out), hydrocortisone & cherry syrup (can use mag-oh suspension instead).
