Description
OtoFen DOLORE Ear Drops is a medical device whose action is based on the osmotic properties of glycerol. The main ingredient of OtoFen DOLORE Ear Drops is glycerol. Glycerol used in ear drops has two main characteristics:
1. the oily consistency of glycerol makes it gently adhere to the skin at the application site and is responsible for its protective properties;
2. the hygroscopicity of topically administered glycerol allows for the removal of water retained in the tissues (osmotic effect), reducing swelling and thus alleviating pain.
The glycerol contained in the medical device softens earwax, facilitates its expulsion and, due to its ability to absorb water, removes excess fluids (osmotic effect), promoting the elimination of discomforts that occur in inflammatory conditions such as ear pain and swelling. Glycerol has a causal effect. Lidocaine is an adjuvant used as a local anesthetic, which intensifies the action of glycerol in addition to relieving ear pain.
