Sounds familiar. My friend (I’m caregiver) was placed in hospital after his 2nd week of radiation treaty to neck/throat. He was experiencing the same symptoms as you. Seems physicians will prescribe MMP if you are inpatient, but if you are an outpatient the prescription will be the high dollar (probably more effective) Gelcair Oral Gel Packet. $1,000+.

my mother used Mary's Magic Potion for all of her breast cancer chemo treatment side effects of sore mouth, 3 times over 15 years. She also had to have radiation of the upper neck for cancer in the upper spine to relieve pain for the last bout of cancer. Mary's Magic Potion was a GREAT Help in helping her to be able to eat. She took a 2-3teaspoons as I remember, dosage was recommended by the oncologist, about 15 min before she ate and it worked really well.

Yes its a well kept secret due to the name usage. Was originally made by pharmacists a St Vinicint Hospital Indianapolis for Mary Yeager.

I have taken Mary's Magic Potion many times and it works well for me, however, NEVER have I swallowed it. Are you sure you are supposed to swallow it?

My dentist prescribed "Mary's Magic Potion" for sores on gum after tooth extraction. Gum is so sore I cannot wear lower dentures. The teeth were pulled more than 3 weeks ago but just started on MMP yesterday. I am hoping it helps with the pain when I put in lower dentures. If not, I am affraid I will never be able to wear dentures.

I have a question to go with this. I had a yeast infection orally that was treat with the 10 day pill medication. Now I have started using Marys Magic Potion, but I feel like its starting to come back. If I continue to use just Marys Magic Potion, will it most likely go away soon?? Its not nearly as bad as when I first got it, but it was completely gone by the last day of my pill dosage... and after one night with my guy, its starting to come back a little

the version with lidocaine besides being used for ulcers/reflux is used for esophageal/stomach cancers and such to help with the pain from swallowing and otherwise

I currently use what you ate calling esophageal mix. But way out in our neck of the woods it's referred to as green lizard. It is a miracle medicine for those with acid reflux or stomach ulcers as it numbs the pain almost instantly with just a small amount, 10-15ml or approx a tablespoon.

My daughter is 6 she has mono the dr prescribed this medicine to her. The directions say to give her it before meals and bed time it seems to really help her. I worry though because i cant seem to find any side effects and from the research i have done i have found that there is a possibility of overdose.

There are several compounds called Mary's Magic Potion/Mouthwash.
The ones for Thrush don't usually contain lidocaine; for chemo-related sores, it may.
I've seen MDs write for Mary's Magic, and give the recipe for Esophageal Mix.
There are many variations, used for mouth sores resulting from many causes.
The Esophageal Mix is often given to people in ERs with chest pains caused by a severe reflux attach.

Almost any anaesthetic can burn a little before it begins numbing. If you've ever had a cut numbed before it was stitched, you know what I mean - and the stinging/warming from the novacaine when you get a tooth filled.

Mary's Magic Potion is used to treat Thrush (a yeast bloom in the mouth/throat that can result from antibiotic use).
It contains: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) elixir; nystatin suspension; hydrocortisone; and tetracycline.
The mixture that's made of maalox, lidocaine viscous and benadryl (diphenhydramine) elixir is what I've known as: Esophogeal Mix - for chest pain resulting from severe acid reflux, etc.

I get lie bumps every now and then, there little white dots that are really really painful. I think I get them whenever I eat salty food or something like that, although im not sure. Anyway, when I went to the health center for this problem I was prescribed Mary's Magic Mixture, from what I remember it worked pretty good.
