The active ingredient in Cl-ear Pain Relief Ear Drops is lidocaine hydrochloride, a type of medicine known as a local anaesthetic. Furthermore, removing wax with a cotton bud can irritate the skin of the ear, and this often encourages people to poke around even more; it’s a vicious cycle . If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor or our pharmacist before taking this product.

These ear drops contain Glycerol to gently soften the wax and Urea Hydrogen Peroxide which releases oxygen to break up earwax, making it easier to remove. Warnings children should receive medical diagnosis before using these drops to confirm earwax is present.

It's curiously ticklish, but utterly painless, and the staff are perfectly happy to join in your childish chorus of: 'Eeewww! If you have been told you have hard impacted wax then you may wish to try Otex to help break the impacted wax apart. Both Mary and Raul did a great job and I can't recommend enough it was a little uncomfortable in one ear but nothing too bad but other than that it's easy! If there is a hole in the ear drum, or the drum is missing completely (as can happen) the jet of water just goes through the hole and the patient can end up with an ear infection. Otex is bought at pharmacies / Otex Express is likely weaker and can be bought at many other standard retail outlets.The idea was that the jet of water from the nozzle of the syringe went past a lump of wax, hit the ear drum, bounced off the ear drum, and then – on its way out of the ear canal, the stream of water would carry the wax with it. It has a very medicated smell, which you may or may not like, but it is very good at dissolving ear wax fast. If you would like to try olive oil or almond oil to soften your wax - warm the oil up to body temperature and lie down on one side.
