Active ingredients & how it works: Contains urea hydrogen peroxide in a glycerol base. The peroxide component releases oxygen when it contacts earwax, helping to break the wax into smaller, softer fragments. The glycerol base acts as a humectant and softener, making the wax easier to remove naturally or by professional cleaning.

Indications: For the softening and removal of hardened or impacted earwax causing symptoms such as blocked sensation, reduced hearing, tinnitus, or discomfort. Often used prior to microsuction or irrigation to facilitate wax clearance.

Age range: Licensed for adults, children and the elderly. In practice, young children should be treated under medical or pharmacist advice.

How to use:

• Tilt the head so the affected ear is uppermost.
• Gently pull the outer ear backwards and upwards, and instil several drops to fill the ear canal without touching the ear with the dropper tip.
• Keep the head tilted for a few minutes to allow the drops to soak into the wax.
• Wipe away any excess from the outer ear.
• Use once or twice daily for several days as directed in the leaflet, or until wax has softened sufficiently for removal.
• Always follow the PIL otherwise

Warnings & precautions (summary – not exhaustive):

• For use in the ear only. Do not swallow.
• Do not use if the eardrum is, or may be, perforated, or if you have had ear surgery unless advised by a clinician.
• Do not use if there is ear pain, discharge, acute infection, or severe dizziness – refer to a doctor instead.
• Discontinue and seek advice if irritation, persistent pain, or worsening hearing occurs.
• Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to urea hydrogen peroxide or any excipients in the formulation.

Do not use at the same time as other ear drops unless specifically advised.
