Description
AQUAEAR EAR DROP is an otic solution specifically designed to address the common issue of swimmer's ear, known medically as otitis externa. This condition often arises when water becomes trapped in the ear canal after activities such as swimming, bathing, surfing, or diving. The solution effectively removes excess moisture from the ear, helping to prevent and treat infections caused by water exposure.
Key Ingredients
- Glacial Acetic Acid
- Isopropyl Alcohol
These active ingredients work together to dry the ear canal and inhibit bacterial growth, alleviating painful inflammation associated with swimmer's ear. The solution is clear and colourless, with a distinctive odour attributed to its components, and is free from any suspended matter.
Usage Instructions
- Application: Instil 4–6 drops in the ear immediately after water exposure.
- Position: Hold the position for one minute before repeating for the other ear.
- Drainage: Tilt the head to allow drainage and gently dry the outer ear.
This product is intended for external use only and is not recommended for children under 3 years of age. Users should avoid using it if the ear canal is blocked, inflamed, or if there are conditions such as discharge, grommets, earache, or a perforated eardrum.
