Product Information

Trying to remove earwax by putting objects (including cotton buds) into your ears can push wax deeper and damage your ear drum. Ear candles can cause serious injury (and there is no evidence that they are helpful). What are your preferences? But if this doesn’t work, or there is no time to wait, your pharmacist or GP may suggest that you have the wax removed. This is usually done by a health professional. In these circumstances, they will often suggest that you use drops first (at least for a few days) to try and soften the wax before the removal is done. There are several benefits of this; it might lead to you not needing removal at all, or it may make the wax removal easier.

Earwax is normal. It is produced by glands in the outer part of your ear canal. In most people, most of the time, it is not a problem. But not always. Usually the wax passes out, along the ear canal, into the bowl of the ear; it doesn’t produce any symptoms, and doesn’t ‘build up’ in any way. Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.
