About Paradichlorobenzene+benzocaine+chlorobutanol+terpineol
Paradichlorobenzene+benzocaine+chlorobutanol+terpineol belongs to the group of medicines called otic agents used to soften the impacted earwax (accumulated earwax). Earwax, also called cerumen, helps to protect the inside of the ear canal from micro-organisms and foreign particles. When the ear glands produce more earwax than necessary, it gets hard and blocks the ear. Unremoved ear wax can lead to infections. Paradichlorobenzene+benzocaine+chlorobutanol+terpineol helps soften the earwax and thereby aids in the easy removal of the hardened wax.
Paradichlorobenzene+benzocaine+chlorobutanol+terpineol is a combination of four medicines: Paradichlorobenzene (hydrating agent), Benzocaine (local anaesthetic), Chlorobutanol (preservative) and Terpineol (lubricating agent). Paradichlorobenzene softens the ear wax by reducing its thickness. Benzocaine decreases the sensation of pain by blocking the pain signals. Chlorobutanol acts as a preservative and wax softener. Terpineol acts as a lubricating agent. Together, Paradichlorobenzene+benzocaine+chlorobutanol+terpineol helps in softening the ear wax.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Impacted earwax: Earwax, also called cerumen, helps to protect the inside of the ear canal from micro-organisms and foreign particles. When the ear glands produce more earwax than necessary, it gets hard and blocks the ear. This condition can lead to ear pain, itching, ringing in the ears, dizziness or loss of hearing. It occurs due to frequent use of earphones, cotton swabs or use of other objects that push earwax deeper, causing a blockage in the ear. Unremoved ear wax can lead to infections. Signs of impacted earwax include ear pain, feeling of fullness in the ear, tinnitus (ringing/buzzing sound in the ear) and partial hearing loss.
