Indications & Uses
Carbamide Peroxide ear drop helps to soften, loosen and remove excessive ear wax.
Pharmacology
Carbamide Peroxide is an ear drop made to remove ear wax. Ear wax has a real job in the body, because it helps keep out dirt, bacteria and other things that can cause hearing problems. But too much of it can block the ear canal and reduce hearing. When Carbamide Peroxide touches the skin, it releases oxygen and starts to foam. The foaming helps break up the wax and clear it out. So these drops soften and loosen the excess ear wax and help remove it.
