It also softens ear wax through rapid penetration into the dry matrix of the ceruminous mass resulting in semi-solid debris.
Onset: Bowel movement: Within 12-72 hours (oral); within 2-20 minutes (rectal).
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption: Absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Distribution: Enters breast milk.
Excretion: Via bile.
