Health and Nutrition > Medicines > E



How does it work?

These eardrops contain two ingredients, choline salicylate and glycerin (glycerol). Choline salicylate has actions similar to those of aspirin, that is, analgesic (pain relieving), anti-inflammatory and antipyretic (fever-reducing). Its acts by inhibiting the production of chemicals (prostaglandins) which cause inflammation. Glycerin softens ear wax due to its water-retaining and emollient properties. These ear drops are used for the symptomatic relief of ear pain in acute and chronic otitis media and otitis externa. They are also used to soften ear wax as an aid to ear wax removal.
