Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate is used for preservative.

Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate works as laxative by increasing the water content of the stool or increasing the secretion of water in the gut, thus promoting its passage. It also works as an ear wax softener by softening the dry and hardened ear wax. This eases wax removal and reduces discomfort inside the ear.

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
