Auralgan Ear Drops 15ml
Auralgan Ear Drops 15ml provide fast-acting relief from earache and outer ear infections. The combination of antipyrine and benzocaine numbs pain, reduces inflammation and softens earwax, easing the discomfort of otitis media, otitis externa and earwax-related pain.
What is Auralgan and how does it work?
Auralgan is a combination ear drop containing antipyrine and benzocaine, designed for fast relief of earache and outer ear infection pain. The drops are applied directly into the ear canal, where benzocaine quickly numbs the pain and antipyrine helps reduce inflammation. Auralgan also softens earwax, easing earache caused by wax build-up against an inflamed canal.
What is Auralgan used for?
- Earache caused by middle-ear infection (otitis media) when the eardrum is intact.
- Outer ear pain and inflammation (otitis externa).
- Discomfort from earwax build-up.
- Post-flight ear pain caused by pressure changes.
- Symptomatic relief while awaiting medical assessment.
Active ingredients
- Antipyrine - anti-inflammatory that reduces swelling in the ear canal.
- Benzocaine - local anaesthetic that numbs ear pain within minutes.
- Glycerol-based carrier that softens earwax.
How to use Auralgan ear drops
Warm the bottle in your hand for a few minutes before use (cold drops can cause dizziness). Tilt your head sideways with the affected ear facing up. Gently squeeze 2 to 4 drops into the ear canal, then keep your head tilted for about 2 minutes so the drops reach the eardrum. Plug the ear lightly with cotton wool if directed. Repeat every 1 to 2 hours as needed for pain relief, up to 4 doses per day.
Warnings and precautions
- Do not use if you have a perforated eardrum, grommets, or ear discharge.
- If pain or fever persists beyond 48 hours, see a doctor as antibiotics may be required.
- For external ear use only - do not swallow.
- Stop use and consult a doctor if irritation or rash develops.
- Keep out of reach of children. Store below 25 degrees Celsius.
Frequently asked questions
What is Auralgan used to treat?
Auralgan is used for fast symptomatic relief of earache caused by middle ear infections (otitis media), outer ear inflammation (otitis externa), earwax build-up, and post-flight ear pain. The combination of benzocaine for numbing and antipyrine for inflammation provides relief within minutes while you arrange medical assessment if needed.
How quickly does Auralgan work?
Most users feel significant pain relief within 5 to 15 minutes of using Auralgan, as the benzocaine numbs the painful eardrum and surrounding tissue. The effect typically lasts 1 to 2 hours, after which the drops can be reapplied.
Can Auralgan cure an ear infection?
No. Auralgan provides symptom relief but does not kill the bacteria or viruses that cause ear infections. If ear pain is severe, persistent beyond 48 hours, or accompanied by fever or hearing loss, see your doctor - antibiotic treatment may be required.
Is Auralgan safe with a perforated eardrum or grommets?
No. Auralgan must not be used when the eardrum is perforated or grommets are in place, as the drops can reach the middle ear and cause damage. If you are unsure whether your eardrum is intact, see your doctor before using ear drops.
