About E-Wax Ear Drop

E-Wax Ear Drop belongs to the class of medications called ‘Otic agents’ used to soften the impacted earwax. Earwax build-up occurs due to an ear infection, inflammation, injury, or other conditions such as bone deformations in the ear, skin diseases such as eczema (skin inflammation), or narrowed ear canals.

E-Wax Ear Drop contains Paradichlorobenzene, Benzocaine, Chlorbutol, and Turpentine oil. Paradichlorobenzene acts as a hydrating agent. It softens the ear wax by reducing its thickness. Benzocaine acts as a local anaesthetic and prevents pain. Chlorbutol acts as a wax softener. Turpentine oil acts as a lubricating agent. Together, E-Wax Ear Drop helps soften the ear wax.

E-Wax Ear Drop is for otic (ear) use only. The common side-effects of E-Wax Ear Drop are difficulty sleeping, skin irritation, redness, and headache. These side-effects are usually mild and temporary that doesn’t require medical attention. However, inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

Do not use E-Wax Ear Drop if you are allergic to any of its contents; if you have inflamed ear canal, perforated eardrum, or eczema (skin inflammation) on the outer ear.  It is not recommended for use in children below 1 year of age. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor regarding other prescription, non-prescription or herbal medicines you are taking to prevent any side effects/interactions.

Used for Softening impacted earwax

Medicinal Benefits

E-Wax Ear Drop is a combination of four medicines: Paradichlorobenzene, Benzocaine, Chlorbutol, and Turpentine oil. Paradichlorobenzene acts as a hydrating agent. It softens the ear wax by reducing its thickness. Benzocaine acts as a local anaesthetic and prevents pain by blocking the pain signals. Chlorbutol acts as a wax softener and an antibacterial. Turpentine oil acts as a lubricating agent and aids in the removal of earwax. Thereby, E-Wax Ear Drop can effectively soften the earwax without pain, discomfort, or any requirement of difficult procedures.

  • Consult an ENT regularly for early detection of any ear problems.

Special Advise

  • Do not touch the tip of the dropper as it may contaminate the contents.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Impacted earwax: Earwax (also called cerumen) helps protect the ear from injury, infection, entry of water, or foreign materials. However, too much wax can build up in the ear due to secretions from the ear glands and dead skin cells, leading to impacted earwax. This condition can lead to ear pain, itching, ringing in the ears, dizziness, or loss of hearing. It occurs due to inflammation, injury, infection to the ear, bone deformities in the ear, or skin diseases. It may also occur due to frequent use of earphones, cotton swabs, or other objects in the ear that can push earwax deeper, causing a blockage in the ear.
