Earex ear drops

How does it work?

Earex ear drops contain almond oil, arachis oil (peanut oil) and camphor oil. This combination is used to soften ear wax.

Ear wax is a normal secretion of the ear. It is produced to provide a protective layer in the ear and on the ear drum. There are times when too much wax is produced. This can result hearing difficulties and may cause pain.

A hard plug of wax can be softened using Earex ear drops. Wax can also be removed by your doctor or practice nurse, by flushing the ear with warm water (syringing). If there is a lot of wax or the wax is very hard, the wax may need to be softened first and Earex ear drops can also be used for this.

What is it used for?

Removal of ear wax.

Warning!

People with ear pain should always seek medical advice before using this medicine.

Do not stick anything into the ear, such as cottonbuds, to remove wax.

Earex ear drops should be disposed of eight weeks after opening.
