Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops - 10ml (Brands May Vary)

Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops are a traditional and effective treatment used to soften and loosen hardened or impacted earwax. The drops work by gently breaking down earwax, allowing it to clear naturally from the ear canal or making it easier to remove by irrigation or microsuction if required.

Often recommended by healthcare professionals, sodium bicarbonate ear drops are suitable for short-term use in adults and older children who experience blocked ears, reduced hearing or discomfort caused by earwax build-up.
