Break up and dissolve your ear wax.

Everyone has some earwax. If you have too much, it can cause pain, dizziness and even problems with hearing.
Otex drops clear your ears of wax and are simple to use. Order Otex drops online with Treated for home delivery and expert care.
Otex drops are used for a build up of earwax, also known as impacted earwax. This is when your ears produce too much wax and it hardens together in clumps, blocking off your ear canal.
Impacted ear wax can be painful and lead to problems with dizziness and hearing, like tinnitus or hearing loss. So it’s important to treat it to stop things from getting worse.
Otex is a topical solution which you apply straight into your ear canals. Specially designed for impacted ear wax, it breaks it up so that it can escape your ears, healing your symptoms.
Otex drops contain 5% of the active ingredient urea hydrogen peroxide. Urea hydrogen peroxide is a cerumenolytic, meaning it helps to remove build ups of hard earwax. It does this by softening the wax and dissolving any clumps of wax that form.
Urea hydrogen peroxide also has antiseptic properties, so it can help keep your ears free of germs. This allows the wax in your ear to be removed easily, leaving your ear canals clean and clear.
Otex only comes in a solution with 5% urea hydrogen peroxide. You’ll usually use it once or twice a day, for three to four days, depending on how bad your ear wax buildup is. How often and for how long you use it for will depend on your symptoms and how you respond to treatment.
If you talk to us about your health, our clinicians can check over your symptoms and give you personalised advice on how best to use Otex drops. We’ll also check in with you during treatment and make sure it’s going well.
Follow your clinician’s advice on how exactly to use Otex drops.
Otex drops usually take a few days to work. So keep using them for three to four days, or as told by your clinician. You’ll know they’re working because the discomfort in your ears and any hearing problems will have improved.
If you’ve used Otex drops for three to four days and your ears haven’t gotten any better, a different treatment might be more suitable for you. If you order Otex from us, you can just log into your account and message our clinical team. We’ll look into other options that might work better for you and have them sent straight to you.
If you forget to use Otex drops at your usual time, just skip that application and carry on with your treatment plan. Don’t use extra Otex to account for missing some. If you use too much, just wipe away any excess with a clean tissue.
Avoid letting Otex drops get in your eyes. If you do accidentally get some into your eyes, wash them out with clean water for ten to fifteen seconds. Hold your eyelids open while you do this, and cover your other eye so it doesn’t spread. If your eyes continue to be sore and red, ask a clinician for advice.
