Benzocaine belongs to the local anaesthetic class of medicines. It works by causing numbness in the ear canal and reducing pain by blocking nerve signals in the area.
Chlorbutol acts as a preservative and mild anaesthetic and also has weak antibacterial properties, helping to maintain a clean environment in the ear.
Paradichlorobenzene is a wax softener that assists in loosening and dissolving the earwax. It also has mild antibacterial and antifungal effects, further helping to keep the ear clean.
Turpentine Oil, derived from pine trees, acts as a solvent that aids in breaking up and dissolving earwax. It also has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties which can help soothe any irritation in the ear. Together, these components work synergistically to soften and remove excess or impacted cerumen (earwax), relieving symptoms related to its buildup.
