Description
Otex ear drops are used to help remove hardened wax from the ear canal
- Otex makes removal of ear wax easier, and in many cases avoids the need for ear syringing
- Otex can be used during pregnancy and while breast-feeding
DO NOT USE
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to urea hydrogen peroxide or any of the other ingredients of Otex listed in Section 6
- if you have a history of ear problems, unless used under the close supervision of your doctor, nurse or pharmacist
- if you are also putting anything else in the ear (such as other ear drops or a hearing aid)
- if your ear drum is (or has been) damaged
- if you suffer from dizziness
- if there is anything else wrong with your ear - such as pain, swelling, discharge, infection or tinnitus (ringing sounds in the ear)
- if you have tried to remove the ear wax using fingernails, cotton buds or other implements. (This is because you might have damaged the delicate inner lining of the ear, leading to swelling or infection.) This could make it painful to use the ear drops
- if you have had your ear syringed in the last 2 to 3 days – this could also make it painful to use the eardrops
