About Benzocaine+chlorobutanol+paradichlorobenzene
Benzocaine+chlorobutanol+paradichlorobenzene is a combination medication used to dissolve earwax and treat infections caused by bacteria and fungi. Earwax generally traps and prevents dust, bacteria, other germs and small objects from entering and damaging the ear. But in some people, glands produce more wax than usual, which can harden and block the ear canal, resulting in wax impactions (a build-up of layers of earwax and blockage of the ear canal).
Benzocaine+chlorobutanol+paradichlorobenzene contains Benzocaine, Chlorobutanol, and Paradichlorobenzene. Benzocaine works as a local anaesthetic that helps numb the affected area and relieve pain. Chlorobutanol acts as a preservative with antimicrobial action to help prevent infection. Paradichlorobenzene softens and dissolves earwax, and its antifungal properties help combat infections. Together, Benzocaine+chlorobutanol+paradichlorobenzene effectively softens impacted earwax and treats ear infections.

The symptoms of impacted earwax include ear pain, decreased hearing, ringing in the ear, dizziness, fullness or a plugged sensation. Earwax can be removed by using gentle suction, a curette (a small, plastic spoon), or irrigating the ear with sodium bicarbonate, warm water, or certain ear drops.
