OTOFEN

Description
OtoFen DOLORE ear drops are a medical device whose action is based on the osmotic properties of glycerol. The main ingredient in OtoFen DOLORE ear drops is glycerol. The glycerol used in the ear drops has two main properties:
1. the oily consistency of glycerol makes it adhere delicately to the skin at the point of application and is responsible for its protective properties;
2. The hygroscopicity of glycerol, administered topically, allows the elimination of water retained in the tissues (osmotic effect), reducing swelling and therefore relieving pain.
The glycerol contained in the medical device softens the cerumen, facilitates its expulsion and, due to its ability to absorb water, eliminates excess fluid (osmotic effect), favoring the elimination of symptoms that occur in inflammatory conditions, such as pain and swelling of the ear. Glycerol has a causal effect. Lidocaine is an adjuvant used as a local anesthetic, which enhances the action of glycerol and relieves ear pain.

How to use
1. Wash your hands and unscrew the bottle cap.
2. Tilt your head or lie on your side so that the treated ear is facing up.
3. Gently pull the earlobe (the bottom of the ear canal) away from the neck.
4. Turn the OtoFen DOLORE ear drops bottle upside down, without the cap, and press on both sides, releasing 2 drops of product into the ear.
5. Keep your head tilted for a few minutes so that the drops can flow into the ear canal.
6. Remove excess liquid with a clean napkin.
7. After application, it is recommended to close the external auditory canal with a cleansing pad.
8. Put the lid back on.
