PHARMACY MEDICINE

Cerumol is an oily preparation for the treatment of obstructive ear was. Cerumol loosens the hard wax and makes removal easier. Sometimes excessive wax is produced and this can form a plug in the outer ear canal outside the eardrum. Deafness and a blocked feeling in the ear are the most common symptoms. Cerumol is the easy way to remove ear wax and you can administer it yourself.

DIRECTIONS

Approximately five drops should be instilled into the ear and left for 10-30 minutes according to the degree of hardness of the ear wax. Should the Cerumol tend to run out, a small plug of cotton wool smeared with Cerumol can be applied. The loosened ear wax may then clear from the ear by itself or be removed by gently syringing. More then one application may be necessary when the ear is severely impacted. in some cases the instillation of two or three drops of Cerumol twice daily for three or four days may clear the ear and so make syringing unnecessary. Discontinue if irritation occurs. Use within 6 months of opening. Stoe below 30º C.
