Earwax Removal Medication

Dreamstime

Another form of treatment for a buildup of wax in the ears is earwax removal medication. Carbamide peroxide is the generic name for several brand names of earwax removal medications, which may be purchased over-the-counter or by prescription. Following directions on the medication label or as prescribed by the physician is necessary for safe usage. Placing the medication into the ear canal will help soften and loosen the ear wax for easier removal. If the eardrum has been perforated, these medications should not be used. If ear pain, drainage, bleeding, or itching is present, the medications should not be used without consulting a medical provider.
