Benefits of Waxrub Ear Drop

Treatment of Softening of earwax
Waxrub Ear Drop is a liquid solution which helps to soften, disperse and sometimes dissolve ear wax. Although ear wax drops can be an effective, self-sufficient treatment for ear wax, they are more often used before some other form of treatment for ear wax such as ear syringing or ear irrigation. This medicine is absorbed by ear wax, aiding in thinning and softening it in the process. It also lubricates the inner layers of the skin lining the ear canal, enabling its movement towards the entrance of the ear canal. This helps in getting rid of the earwax without pain and discomfort.

Side effects of Waxrub Ear Drop

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

  • Sleepiness

How to use Waxrub Ear Drop

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the ear without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside ear.

How Waxrub Ear Drop works

Waxrub Ear Drop is a combination of four medicines: Benzocaine, Chlorbutol, Paradichlorobenzene and Turpentine Oil. Benzocaine is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain which decreases sensation of pain. Chlorbutol is a preservative. Paradichlorobenzene is an ear wax softener which dissolves the ear wax while exerting antibacterial and antifungal actions. Turpentine Oil is a lubricant.

Quick tips

  • Waxrub Ear Drop must be used as per dose and duration suggested by the doctor.
  • Do not touch the tip of the dropper to prevent contamination.
  • Do not use the medicine for a longer time without doctor consultation.
  • Make sure not to use the open bottle more than 4 weeks.
