Otex Express Ear Drops - 10ml
Otex Express ear drops are designed to help remove hardened ear wax from the ear canal. Excessive ear wax can build up, causing discomfort, hearing loss, dizziness, and in some cases, pain. Otex Express works by breaking down the ear wax into smaller pieces, making it easier to remove and often preventing the need for ear syringing.
Who Can Use Otex Express?
Otex Express is suitable for use by adults, the elderly, and children. However, it is important to consult a doctor before using Otex Express in children under the age of 5 to ensure that ear wax buildup is present and it is safe to use.
How Does Otex Express Work?
The ear drops work by releasing oxygen as the ear wax breaks down, which helps to soften the wax, making it easier to remove. This alleviates discomfort and can improve hearing by clearing the ear canal.
Before You Use Otex Express
Please do not use Otex Express if you:
- Are allergic to any of its ingredients.
- Have a history of ear problems (unless used under the close supervision of a healthcare professional).
- Are using other ear drops or a hearing aid.
- Have a damaged eardrum.
- Suffer from dizziness or other ear issues such as pain, swelling, discharge, or tinnitus.
- Have recently had your ear syringed (within the last 2 to 3 days).
- Have tried using cotton buds, fingernails, or other implements to remove ear wax, as these could damage the delicate ear lining.
Important Safety Information
- If Otex Express gets into your eyes, rinse the eye immediately with water for 10 to 15 minutes, and consult your healthcare provider if irritation persists.
- Do not use Otex Express while using other ear treatments or hearing aids, as this could interfere with its effectiveness.
- Otex Express is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but you should consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
How to Use Otex Express
- Turn the cap anti-clockwise to break the seal when using the product for the first time.
- Remove the cap and tilt your head.
- Gently squeeze up to 5 drops into the ear.
- Keep your head tilted for a few minutes so the drops stay in the ear.
- Wipe away any excess fluid with a tissue.
- Repeat in the other ear if necessary.
For adults and children, Otex Express is typically used once or twice a day for 3 to 4 days. If symptoms persist after this period, consult your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.
What to Do if You Use Too Much Otex Express
If you use more Otex Express than necessary, there is no need to worry. Simply wipe away any excess fluid with a tissue.
What to Do if You Forget a Dose
If you forget to use Otex Express, just continue your treatment as usual once you remember. Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.
Possible Side Effects
Like all ear drops, Otex Express can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Potential side effects include:
- A temporary mild bubbling sensation in the ear due to the release of oxygen.
- Worsening of ear wax symptoms, including discomfort, irritation, pain, hearing loss, dizziness, and tinnitus.

If any side effects persist or worsen, or if you notice other side effects, stop using Otex Express and consult your doctor or pharmacist.
