Otex Ear Drops are used to help remove hardened earwax and relieve symptoms such as reduced hearing, discomfort, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. They contain urea hydrogen peroxide, which works by softening and breaking down earwax into smaller pieces, making it easier for it to disperse or be removed naturally.
The drops also release oxygen, which can help loosen the wax and cleanse the ear canal. Otex is usually applied directly into the ear for a few days before ear syringing or as a stand-alone treatment. It is suitable for adults and children over 12 years old.

Warnings
You should not use Otex:
if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to urea hydrogen peroxide or any of the other ingredients of Otex.
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.
