1	Verwon Says: [Moderator] Monday, 3/20/2006 3:09:57 AM Are you in the U.S.? There are no prescription drugs in the US under that name. I checked all the databases I can find, my best guess is that it is some form of an OTC supplement.
2	Cary Says: Report Abuse Saturday, 1/6/2007 8:27:48 PM My husband was also prescribed this medicine, so I decided to research it. What I found out is the pharmacist mixes maalox, benadryl and lidocaine together and then you have Marys Magic Potion. I hope this helps.
3	Verwon Says: [Moderator] Sunday, 1/7/2007 7:20:02 PM Thanks for providing that information Cary. Being something the pharmacist has to mix would explain why it was not listed in pharmaceutical directories and databases. This gives me the impression that it was once a product available for sale that contained these types of ingredients, which is no longer sold, but some doctors still like to recommend its use, so the pharmacist has to mix and equivelent. I have to recommend being exceptionally cautious with this mix, be very careful to use only as directed and measure dosage amounts carefully, ingesting too much Lidocaine could cause severe health problems and/or overdose.
4	Verwon Says: [Moderator] Sunday, 1/7/2007 7:22:25 PM Oh and to the original poster, if you still cannot find a pharmacist who will mix/compound this for you, there are other options available. The main purpose of this one, with the Lidocaine in it, would be to treat mouth, throat, or stomach irritations or pain from something, and there are other things you can use that are just as effective, without having to find someone who will mix it for you, which will also cost extra.
5	Becky Mccreery Says: Report Abuse Sunday, 6/10/2007 3:57:28 PM I take the presribed Mary's Magic Potion. I have had mouth, tongue and gum sores for years. Doctor says that there are some people that just have them and they do not know the cause. This is the only thing that will help heal them for me. My bottle from the pharmasist says that it is.... NYSTAT/HYDROC/TETRAC/DIPHEN A Is this the same mixture that Cary says or if not....what is this mixture I get? Whatever it is it has been a lifesaver magic potion for me! Thank You
6	M Vinson Says: Report Abuse Sunday, 1/20/2008 2:26:59 PM Mary's Magic Potion My 2nd cousin who has recently returned from Iraq was visiting us and had chest pains. We called an ambulance and they took him to the VA Hospital..They gave him this concoction and he said it did have a numbing effect but did not help the pain. After six hours they gave morphine..and after three more hours released him with no diagnosis. (probably Gall bladder) The foriegn nurse said this medicine was first used during WW1..Wierd!
7	Jim D. Says: Report Abuse Tuesday, 9/2/2008 7:14:02 PM Just this morning I was given a prescription for Mary's MP, and so I am surfing a few sites trying to learn something more about it. (Seems to be a well kept secret!) As for me, I had melanoma in the neck area, and radiation is currently being used as follow-up to a radical neck dissection... and it is these radiation treatments that are causing me to have severe difficulties when it comes to swallowing and eating. I have been told that Mary's will help to relax or lubricate the throat muscles to make eating a bit easier(?) I hope that my experience with it is successful. Jim
8	Sharon S. Says: Report Abuse Monday, 10/27/2008 9:59:33 AM I was given Mary,s MP, for a mouth condition called Thrush, which is a yeast infection, that men and women can get. I have been using it for about 2 months now, but if I stop, within a few days its back, any advise?
9	Mcrn Says: Report Abuse Monday, 10/27/2008 2:50:57 PM you best bet is to ask the nurse you are working under or clinical instructor. it could be a concoction of many things.
10	Cdarriel Says: Report Abuse Tuesday, 12/9/2008 11:42:35 PM I recently had a gallbladder removed and i have had a severe sore throught from the anasthetic tube used to help me breathe while under surgery. i am on mary's magic potion and it seems to help but it is not curing my sore throat. How long will this take?
11	Jess Haines, Pharmd Candidate Says: Report Abuse Tuesday, 3/24/2009 1:19:27 PM Mary's Magic Potion is a combination of prescription/OTC products for oral fungal infections, specifically candidia spp. Each pharmacy may make it a little different, but most places for a 240mL bottle will combine: 1.5g Tetracycline 60mg Hydrocortisone 60 mL Nystatin Suspension 180 mL diphenhydramine 12.5/5mL Hope this helps.
12	Monica Says: Report Abuse Monday, 4/13/2009 8:52:13 AM This medication is used commonly for mouth infections, sores and/or mouth pain. It can have different ingredients. If you stay in nursing this will not be the last time you see it. It is almost always Mary's and usually called Magic but it can be called a mouthwash, potion, swish, or cocktail.......
13	Sandrad78 Says: Report Abuse Tuesday, 5/5/2009 12:54:10 PM Mary's magic potione is used a lot for chemo patients that have developed sores in the mouth. It has a numbing effect..It has benadryl and lidocaine and 2 other drugs. Will find out on Friday when my husband see's his oncologist.
14	John Says: Report Abuse Saturday, 5/30/2009 8:38:17 AM I have a brownish/yellowish tongue, and a bad taste in my mouth. (no pain/sores)I've had this for over 2 months. I got this soon after taking antibiotics for a kidney stone. My doctor recently prescriped this stuff. Anyone ever heard of treating this symptom with this stuff? Thanks.
15	Maureen Says: Report Abuse Tuesday, 6/9/2009 5:14:44 AM I am on Interferon treatment for HepC, and have had a sore mouth for months, along with sores in the corner of my mouth/lips that would not heal. I was perscribed this potion and my mouth corners were healed within 2 days. Mouth & tounge feel much better as well.
