Overview

Debrox Otic is an over the counter ear drop solution. It helps remove the excessive buildup of earwax in the ear canal. Carbamide peroxide is a softening agent, which breaks down and dissolves the earwax so that it can easily be removed. It is very often prescribed for those suffering from ear discomfort, blockage, or hearing issues resulting from too much earwax.

 

Earwax is a natural secret of the body to protect the ear canal. However, this can sometimes stack up and thus be painful or impair hearing. Debrox Otic has been developed with the intention to dissolve earwax gently but not irritate the sensitive inner skin of the ear.
