Ear Drops is indicated as an aid to soften and remove hardened ear wax from the ear canal.

Ear wax that commonly obstructs the external auditory canal contains less than 50% fatty material derived from sebaceous and ceruminous gland secretions. The remaining portion consists of desquamated epithelial cells, foreign particles, and shed hairs. This non-fatty material forms a matrix that binds fatty components together, forming the ceruminous mass. While oils or solvents may bind this mass more firmly, aqueous solutions that penetrate the matrix can break it down. Sodium Bicarbonate ear drops dissolve wax by penetrating the dry matrix of the ceruminous mass, breaking it down into semi-solid debris. This provides a faster and more effective method for ear wax removal.

Step-1: Tilt the head and gently squeeze 3 to 4 drops into the affected ear without touching the ear with the end of the dropper.
Step-2: Keep head tilted, allow the solution to remain in ear for 5-10 minutes, wipe any surplus with a tissue. Repeat in the other ear if necessary.
Step-3: Perform 1-2 times daily for up to 5 days.

Adult application: To apply, tilt head to one side so that the ear is facing up. Then gently pull the ear lobe up & backward in case of adults and children older than 3 years.

Pediatric application: In case of pediatric patients gently pull the ear lobe down & backward.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction: Unknown.

Sodium Bicarbonate can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. These ingredients have been widely used for many years without reported problems. However, formal safety studies have not been conducted.
