About DESOL DROPS

DESOL DROPS belongs to the class of medications called ‘Otic agents’ used to treat pain caused by impacted earwax. DESOL DROPS softens and clears the impacted earwax (accumulated earwax). Too much earwax build-up occurs due to an ear infection, inflammation, or injury, or other conditions such as bone deformations in the ear, skin diseases such as eczema (skin inflammation), or narrowed ear canals.

DESOL DROPS is a combination of four medicines: Paradichlorobenzene, Benzocaine, Chlorobutanol, and Turpentine oil. Paradichlorobenzene acts as a hydrating agent. It softens the ear wax by reducing its thickness. Benzocaine acts as a local anesthetic and prevents pain. Chlorobutanol also acts as a wax softener. It also has antibacterial properties. Turpentine oil acts as a lubricating agent. It can also help to relieve ear pain.

You should use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of DESOL DROPS are difficulty sleeping, skin irritation, redness, and headache. These side-effects are usually mild and temporary that doesn’t require medical attention. However, inform your doctor immediately if any of these side-effects persist or get worsen.

Do not take DESOL DROPS if you are allergic to any of its contents. Do not use in patients with an inflamed ear canal, perforated eardrum, or eczema (skin inflammation) on the outer ear. Before taking DESOL DROPS, inform your doctor if you have hearing problems (including deafness), intestinal problems (including blockage, swelling, ulcers), kidney problems, myasthenia gravis (neuromuscular disease), and Parkinson's disease. It is not recommended for use in children below 1 year of age. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Drug Warnings

Do not use DESOL DROPS if you notice any swelling, discharge from the ears, or tinnitus (ringing sounds in the ears) as it may be a sign of ear inflammation. While instilling the ear drops, do not push the dropper into the ear. The loosened wax comes out on its own in most cases. However, if it doesn’t come out or any wax remains, do not try to use any objects to remove the wax. It is advised to consult your doctor for possible syringing. DESOL DROPS is not recommended for use in children below 1 year of age.

Never put cold water into your ear and avoid spraying liquids with force into the ear.
Consult an ENT regularly for early detection of any ear problems.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Impacted earwax: Earwax (also called cerumen) helps you to protect the ear from injury, infection, entry of water, or foreign materials. However, too much wax can buildup in the ear due to secretions from the ear glands and dead skin cells, leading to impacted earwax. This condition can lead to ear pain, itching, ringing in the ears, dizziness, or loss of hearing. It occurs due to inflammation, injury, or infection to the ear, bone deformities in the ear, or skin diseases. It may also occur due to frequent use of earphones, cotton swabs, or other objects in the ear that can push earwax deeper, causing a blockage in the ear.
