Description
Otex Express Ear Drops Remove Hardened Ear Wax, 10ml
Otex Express Ear Drops is an advanced, dual-action formula that softens hardened ear wax and gently liberates oxygen to help disperse it.
Dual action: For rapid removal of hardened ear wax.
Oxygen-release formula: actively breaks down wax.
Reduces the need for syringing.
Benefits:
- Otex express ear drops are used to help remove hardened wax from the ear canal.
- Otex is suitable for use by adults, children and the elderly.
The active ingredient in the solution (urea hydrogen peroxide, 8-hydroxyquinoline, and glycerol) work to break down the build-up of wax causing problems, and the bulb helps to flush them out. This can help ease symptoms of ear wax build-up such as dizziness, discomfort and a feeling of ‘fullness’ in the ear.
Excessive, hardened ear wax is quite common. It causes problems when it builds up and blocks the ear canal. The first symptom is usually a feeling of discomfort and fullness in the ear. This can become painful and cause dizziness and some loss of hearing if left untreated.
Otex makes the removal of ear wax easier, and in many cases avoids the need for ear syringing.
How To Use
How To Use Otex Express Ear Drops
Only use Otex in the ears.
Repeat the following once or twice daily, normally for 3 to 4 days, until you notice an improvement in your hearing and less discomfort:
- Turn the cap anti-clockwise.
(This will break the seal when you use the drops for the first time.)
- Remove the cap to reveal the applicator nozzle.
- Tilt your head and gently squeeze up to 5 drops into the ear.
- Keep your head tilted for a few minutes so that the drops stay in the ear.
- Then wipe away any surplus with a tissue.
- Repeat in the other ear, if necessary.
- Wash hands after use.
- Do not “plug” the ears with loose cotton wool.
- Always replace the cap after use and return the bottle to the carton.
Note that in some cases excessive ear wax may persist for more than 3 to 4 days, despite softening. If the wax is very hard, the ear drops alone may not be able to clear the ear canal. This may cause some temporary loss of hearing. In these cases you should consult your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for further advice.
Do not worry if you use too much Otex. Simply wipe away any surplus running from the ear with a tissue.
Do not worry if you occasionally forget to use Otex. When you remember, just carry on using this product once or twice daily as usual.
If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects
Like all medicines, Otex can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

- Very rarely, an unpleasant taste has been reported. Stop using the ear drops immediately if this happens and tell your doctor.
