Otex Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops

About Otex Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops

Otex Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops contain sodium bicarbonate 5% w/v, a clinically recognised ear wax softening agent used to gently break down and loosen hardened ear wax. These drops work by helping soften and disperse built-up wax in the ear canal, making natural removal easier and reducing the need for syringing.

Otex Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops provide a simple and effective ear wax treatment suitable for adults, children, and the elderly when used as directed. They are commonly used before ear irrigation or when ear wax build-up causes discomfort, reduced hearing, or a blocked ear sensation.
