Otex Ear Drops - 8ml

Otex Ear Drops are designed to help effectively remove hardened ear wax that can accumulate in the ear canal. With a clinically proven active ingredient, these ear drops provide a simple and effective solution for managing excessive ear wax and preventing discomfort.

What Otex is and What it is Used For

Otex Ear Drops are used to soften and break down hardened ear wax, making it easier to remove. This is particularly helpful for individuals who experience discomfort or a feeling of fullness in the ear due to excessive ear wax build-up. If left untreated, this can lead to pain, dizziness, and temporary hearing loss.

Otex contains urea hydrogen peroxide, which works by breaking down the ear wax into smaller pieces. This process can help prevent the need for more invasive treatments, such as ear syringing. Otex is suitable for use by adults, children, and the elderly.

Before You Use Otex

It is important to be aware of the following precautions before using Otex Ear Drops:

• Do not use Otex if you are allergic to urea hydrogen peroxide or any of the other ingredients in the product.
• If you have a history of ear problems, use Otex only under the close supervision of your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
• Avoid using Otex if you are using other ear drops or wearing a hearing aid at the same time.
• Do not use Otex if your ear drum is damaged, or if you experience pain, swelling, discharge, infection, or tinnitus (ringing in the ear).
• Avoid using Otex if you have recently had your ear syringed in the last 2 to 3 days.

Special Care: If you have any doubts about whether Otex is suitable for you, consult with your healthcare provider before use.

How to Use Otex

Only use Otex Ear Drops in the ears. Follow these simple steps for effective use:

1. Preparation: For the first use, turn the cap anti-clockwise to break the seal. Then remove the cap to reveal the applicator nozzle.
2. Application: Tilt your head to one side and gently squeeze up to 5 drops into the ear.
3. After Use: Keep your head tilted for a few minutes to allow the drops to remain in the ear. Wipe away any surplus liquid with a tissue.
4. Repeat if Necessary: If needed, repeat the process in the other ear. Always wash your hands after use.
5. Avoid Plugging the Ear: Do not plug your ears with cotton wool.
6. Storage: Always replace the cap after use and return the bottle to its carton.

For best results, repeat the process once or twice daily for 3 to 4 days, or until you notice an improvement in your hearing and reduction in discomfort. If the ear wax is very hard and persists beyond 3 to 4 days, consult your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

Possible Side Effects

Otex Ear Drops are generally safe, but like all medicines, they can cause side effects in some individuals:

• You may experience a temporary mild bubbling sensation in the ear due to the release of oxygen as the ear wax breaks down.
• The ear drops can sometimes make symptoms worse, including discomfort, irritation, pain, dizziness, or tinnitus.
• In rare cases, an unpleasant taste may occur. If this happens, stop using the drops and consult your healthcare provider.

If any of these side effects persist or become severe, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
