Treatment Information

Overview

Otex is a medicine which helps remove the hardened wax from the ear canal. Its active ingredient is urea hydrogen peroxide. It breaks down the hard wax to help you easily remove it from your ear. Removing the excess build-up of ear wax helps relieve the discomfort and improves hearing.

Directions

Otex can be easily sprayed directly in the ear. Follow these instructions to use it effectively:

  • Tilt your head slightly so that your ear is elevated.

  • Place the nozzle over your ear.

  • Squeeze the bottle to release 5 drops in your ear.

  • Keep your head tilted for 2–3 minutes.

  • Wipe off any surplus with a tissue.

  • Repeat this procedure for the other ear.

Use Otex 1–2 times per day. Use it for 3–4 days as required.

Contact your pharmacist if you have any questions about the dosing and method of use.

Storage

  • Store below 25°C.

  • Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

  • Do not use it after the expiration date printed on the pack.

  • Use within 30 days of opening it.

  • Replace the cap properly after use.

Cautions

  • For use in the ears only.

  • If you accidentally swallow large amounts of this medication, immediately seek medical attention and take the medicine pack with you.

  • If it gets into your eyes or nose, wash thoroughly with water.

  • Contact your doctor or pharmacist if your condition does not improve after 4 days of use.

  • You have any ear problem other than excessive ear wax.

Possible side effects

  • A temporary bubbling sensation in the ear.

  • Ear irritation and discomfort.

Discontinue use and contact your doctor or pharmacist if you experience unpleasant taste, pain or your hearing is affected.
