Benzocaine+chlorbutol+paradichlorobenzene+turpentine Oil
About Benzocaine+chlorbutol+paradichlorobenzene+turpentine Oil
Benzocaine+chlorbutol+paradichlorobenzene+turpentine Oil is an otic ear drop solution used to soften tough, impacted ear wax and relieve the pain and irritation caused by ear canal blockages. It is medically designed to ease the discomfort of plugged ears by breaking down hard cerumen so it can drain naturally. This helps restore clear hearing and reduces the need for painful manual removal of ear wax.
For the best results, you will typically use these drops once or twice daily for a consecutive period of three to five days as advised by your doctor. Consistently applying the drops ensures the hardened wax is thoroughly penetrated and softened over time. To support this process, keep your ears completely dry during baths and avoid using cotton swabs, which push the wax deeper into the ear canal.
While using Benzocaine+chlorbutol+paradichlorobenzene+turpentine Oil, you might experience minor, temporary side effects such as a mild warming or stinging sensation inside the ear. These minor issues usually fade quickly, but if you experience severe burning, swelling, or extreme itching, you must stop using the drops and consult your doctor right away.
Talk to your doctor before starting this medicine if you have a history of chronic ear infections, balance issues, or previous ear surgeries. Do not take this if you have a torn or perforated eardrum, or if you notice any fluid, blood, or pus draining from your ear.
Because these ear drops act locally, they are highly unlikely to interact with oral medications, alcohol, or smoking. However, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating an elderly patient, it is always safest to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Benzocaine+chlorbutol+paradichlorobenzene+turpentine Oil to ensure it is safe for your specific situation.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Avoid cotton swabs: Never insert cotton buds, bobby pins, or sharp objects into your ears. These slide the wax further down, packing it tightly against your eardrum.
- Keep ears dry: When showering or swimming while treating an ear issue, gently place a dry cotton ball coated with a bit of petroleum jelly in the outer ear to keep water from entering.
- Dry your ears gently: After bathing, use a soft towel to dry only the outer part of your ear. Tilt your head to the side to help water drain out naturally.
- Do not use ear candles: Avoid ear candling. It is not scientifically proven to remove wax and can cause serious burns or plug your ear canal with candle wax.
Special Advise
- Do not touch the tip of the dropper as it may contaminate the contents.
- Do not place the tip directly into the ear while instilling the drop. If the dropper touches the ear, immediately squeeze two to three drops onto the tissue and wipe the dropper’s tip with saltwater.
- Discard any unused medicine after the completion of the course of therapy or within 4 weeks after opening the bottle.
- 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.
Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Impacted earwax: Earwax (also called cerumen) helps protect the ear from injury, infection, entry of water, or foreign materials. However, too much wax can build up 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, 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.
