University of Tennessee Medplex Clinic: Compounded Medications.Systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents or acetaminophen may provide some analgesia when ulcers are very painful. 1 A 5-mL dose of the mixture can be swished and swallowed four to six times a day. Finally, the combination of over-the-counter magnesium hydroxide antacid and diphenhydramine hydrochloride (5 mg per mL), mixed half and half, will bring about some symptom relief. Silver nitrate may cause more local necrosis and, ultimately, delayed healing. 11 Brief anesthesia may be obtained with the application of a silver nitrate stick, although the application itself is quite painful. Over-the-counter agents such as Orabase or Zilactin-B coat aphthous ulcers and provide local protection. 1, 11 Over-the-counter benzocaine preparations (e.g., Anbesol and Oragel) may also be used. Pain relief may be achieved with 2 percent viscous lidocaine applied with a cotton swab several times daily, as needed. Other strategies exist for local and systemic symptom relief in patients with aphthous ulcers. Therefore, women who are pregnant or who become pregnant while taking the antibiotic should be informed of the potential for harm to the fetus. There are conflicting studies concerning the effectiveness of compounded magic mouthwashes. If directed to swallow, then dose should be lowered for children accordingly. May be swallowed if esophageal involvement. In addition, minocycline use can cause fetal harm. Sig: Swish, gargle, and spit one to two teaspoonfuls for 1 minute. 1 The same precautions for children and women apply. (In children and in women who may be pregnant, tetracycline should be avoided because of its tendency to discolor teeth.) Minocycline can also be used this way, with a 100-mg tablet dissolved in 180 mL water and swished twice per day. Tetracycline suspension, 250 mg per 5 mL, can also be used in a similar fashion, with 5 mL swished four times per day. Reduction of pain and duration of ulcerations may result. A 250-mg antibiotic capsule of tetracycline can be dissolved in 180 mL water and used as a “swish and swallow” or “swish and spit” treatment four times per day for several days in adult patients. Tetracycline and minocycline are the agents most commonly used. Topical and systemic antibiotic treatments are empiric and are used because of a belief that some as-yet-undiscovered infectious agent is causing the aphthous ulcer.
