Lidocaine / Lignocaine + Paradichlorobenzene + Turpentine Oil is a combination used for ear wax removal.
Lidocaine / Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic. It works by blocking sodium channels on nerve cells, preventing signals of pain from being sent. This reduces discomfort during the ear wax removal process.
Paradichlorobenzene is an organic compound that helps dissolve and soften the ear wax when it enters the ear canal. It also has antibacterial and antifungal effects.
Turpentine Oil, derived from pine resin, acts as a lubricating agent. It helps dislodge the ear wax while the other ingredients work at softening it.
