Earache can significantly disrupt your daily routine, making concentration and rest hard to find. The stabbing or dull pain in the ear canal causes discomfort for both adults and children, often leading to sleepless nights and irritation. Otalgan ear drops offer a targeted solution by tackling the pain directly at the source, so that you and your family can quickly experience comfort again.
- Numbs the painful area locally thanks to the addition of lidocaine hydrochloride, which ensures rapid relief from earache.
- Simple and precise to dose with the dropper bottle, so you always use the right amount.
- Suitable for the whole family, from adults to children from 6 months (under specific conditions).
- The glycerol base is gentle on the ear canal and supports a controlled release of the active ingredient.
How it works
Otalgan ear drops contain lidocaine hydrochloride, a local anaesthetic that temporarily reduces the sensitivity of the nerves in the ear canal. Through this local anaesthesia, the pain signal is interrupted, which directly contributes to your well-being during periods of earache. As your trusted health partner, VitAdvice offers an effective support that fits within a conscious home pharmacy.
