Docusate sodium is an anionic surface acting agent and thus penetrates into thick wax to soften and facilitates easy removal of ear wax.
Pharmacology: Docusate sodium is absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract after oral administration and there is significant biliary excretion. It is also excreted in breast milk.
Toxicology: Oral ingestion is absorbed and appears significantly in bile and has cytotoxic effects on liver cells. No data available on application as ear drops.
Docusate sodium is indicated for softening wax in the ear.
With the head tilted, fill the affected ear with sufficient SOLUWAX Ear Drops (approx. 10 drops) for two consecutive nights. Remain in this position for 4 to 5 minutes.
