FAQs

How often should I use Otex Olive Oil Ear Drops?

You should repeat the application once or twice daily, for up to two weeks, or until you notice a significant improvement in your symptoms.

Who can use these ear drops?

Otex Olive Oil Ear Drops are suitable for adults, children, and the elderly. If using on children, it's always advisable to consult a doctor first.

What does 'EP grade virgin olive oil' mean?

'EP grade' stands for European Pharmacopoeia grade, which means the olive oil meets the high-quality standards required for pharmaceutical use in Europe, ensuring its purity and suitability as a medicinal product.

Can I use these drops if I have an ear infection or a perforated eardrum?

No, these drops are not suitable for use if you have an ear infection, a perforated eardrum, or grommets. If you suspect any of these conditions, consult your doctor immediately.

Is it normal for my hearing to temporarily worsen after applying the drops?

Yes, as the olive oil begins to soften the ear wax, the wax may temporarily swell, which can make your hearing feel worse for a short period. This is usually a sign that the drops are working, and it should improve as the wax breaks down further.

How should I store the Otex Olive Oil Ear Drops?

Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it out of sight and reach of children. Ensure the dropper is securely fitted after each use.

What if some oil leaks out of my ear after application?

It is normal for some of the oil to leak out after a few minutes, especially when you sit up. This means the excess oil has done its job. You can gently wipe away any excess with a tissue.

Troubleshooting

Symptoms not improving after 2 weeks of use.

If symptoms persist or worsen after the recommended 2-week period, or if you suspect an ear infection, discontinue use and consult a doctor or healthcare professional. Prolonged use without improvement may indicate a different underlying issue.

Drops feel cold or uncomfortable upon application.

Gently warm the bottle between your hands for a few minutes before use. This can make the application more comfortable by bringing the oil closer to body temperature. Never heat the bottle directly with hot water or a microwave.

Difficulty administering the drops correctly.

Ensure you are lying down or tilting your head sufficiently to allow the drops to pool in the ear canal. If necessary, gently pull the outer earlobe slightly upwards and backwards (for adults) or downwards and backwards (for children) to help straighten the ear canal.

  1. Initial Opening: Carefully remove the original cap from the bottle. It's crucial to discard this cap immediately and safely, as it may pose a choking hazard, especially to children.
