Lignocaine+paradichlorobenzene+chlorbutol+turpentine Oil
About
Lignocaine+paradichlorobenzene+chlorbutol+turpentine Oil belongs to the group of medicines called otic agents used to soften the hard, solidified, obstructive, impacted external earwax (accumulated earwax) to facilitate easy removal and relieve ear discomforts such as pain and infection. Earwax, also called cerumen helps to protect the inside of the ear canal from micro-organisms and foreign particles. When the ear glands produce more earwax than necessary it gets hard and blocks the ear. Unremoved ear wax can lead to infections.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Impacted earwax: Earwax, also called cerumen, helps to protect the inside of the ear canal from micro-organisms and foreign particles. When the ear glands produce more earwax than necessary, it gets hard and blocks the ear. This condition can lead to ear pain, itching, ringing sensation, dizziness or loss of hearing. It occurs 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. Unremoved ear wax can lead to infections. Signs of impacted earwax include ear pain, feeling of fullness in the ear, tinnitus (ringing/buzzing sound in the ear) and partial hearing loss.
