Details

Cerumol Ear Drops, 10mL, for softening and helping remove a build-up of ear wax. Pharmacy Medicine, AUST R 33565.

Contains arachis oil (peanut oil) at 57% w/v. Do not use it if you have a peanut allergy, and check with a pharmacist before using it on a child with any nut allergy or a family history of one. This is the single most important thing to know about this product and it is not obvious from the name.

What is in Cerumol ear drops

Arachis oil	57% w/v (peanut oil)
Ortho-dichlorobenzene	14% w/v
Chlorbutol	5% w/v
Para-dichlorobenzene	2% w/v

The oil base does the softening; it penetrates and breaks down the hardened wax so it can work its way out or be removed more easily.

How ear wax actually clears

Ear wax is normal and the ear is self-cleaning: wax migrates outward on its own. Drops help when it has hardened and impacted, usually causing blocked hearing, a feeling of fullness, or mild discomfort.

What makes it worse is trying to dig it out. Cotton buds push wax inward and compact it against the eardrum, which is how a minor blockage becomes an impaction. Nothing smaller than your elbow, as the saying goes, and it is good advice.

Do not use ear drops if you have or suspect a perforated eardrum, if you have ear pain, discharge, bleeding, or a current ear infection, or if you have grommets or have had ear surgery. See a doctor instead. Sudden hearing loss, severe pain, dizziness or discharge are reasons for prompt review rather than self-treatment. Do not swallow. Store below 30 degrees Celsius and always replace the cap.

Using them

Follow the directions on the pack. Generally the drops are warmed to room temperature in the hand first, since cold drops in the ear can cause dizziness, and the head is tilted so the treated ear is uppermost for a few minutes afterwards. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure, and go back to them if hearing has not improved after the course on the pack.

Browse medical supplies, or see first aid supplies.

Cerumol Ear Drops FAQs

Does Cerumol contain peanut oil?

Yes. Arachis oil, which is peanut oil, at 57% w/v. Do not use it if you have a peanut allergy, and check with a pharmacist before using it on a child with a nut allergy or a family history of one.

What else is in it?

Ortho-dichlorobenzene 14% w/v, chlorbutol 5% w/v and para-dichlorobenzene 2% w/v, alongside the arachis oil base.

Can I use it if I have a perforated eardrum?

No. Do not use ear drops with a known or suspected perforation, grommets, previous ear surgery, or with ear pain, discharge or bleeding. See a doctor instead.

Should I use cotton buds as well?

No. Cotton buds push wax further in and compact it against the eardrum, turning a minor blockage into an impaction. The ear clears itself outward if left alone.

Why do the drops make me dizzy?

Usually because they are cold. Warming the bottle in your hand to room temperature before use generally prevents it. Persistent dizziness is a reason to stop and seek advice.

What if my hearing has not improved?

Go back to your pharmacist or doctor after completing the course on the pack. Hearing loss that does not resolve, or that came on suddenly, needs assessment rather than another bottle.

Can children use it?

Ask a pharmacist first, both for the age and because of the peanut oil content. Ear problems in children are also more likely to be infection, which drops do not treat.

Always read the label and use only as directed. Do not swallow. Contains arachis (peanut) oil. Seek medical advice for ear pain, discharge, sudden hearing loss or a suspected perforated eardrum. This information is a general guide and is not medical advice.
