OtoCura® is used for the care and cleaning of the external auditory canal, to get relief from itching due to dryness, and as a preventive and accompanying treatment in case of skin irritations in the external auditory canal, e.g. due to improper ear cleaning or in connection with wearing hearing aids. OtoCura® can be used for prophylaxis and for the care after various water sports (e.g. diving, swimming).
Olive, almond and calendula oils protect the skin from drying out, thereby reducing itching and skin irritation.
OtoCura® reduces the need of ear rinsing or facilitates professional ear cleaning when required.

How to use the ear spray
Spray OtoCura® ear spray into the external auditory canal. The earwax is softened by the spray.
Softened ear wax can now drain out of the ear through the self-cleaning mechanism without additional rinsing.
The use of cotton buds to clean the ears is not recommended. They can compress the
earwax and push it even deeper into the ear canal to the eardrum or even injure it.

- Relieves itching
- Soothes skin irritations
Functions of earwax
Cerumen (earwax) moisturises the ear canal and protects the acid mantle of the skin. It also protects against infections and transports deposits of dirt, dust, and dead skin cells outwards to the outer ear.
In this way, the ear cleans itself, so that a careful cleaning at the end of the ear canal at the pinna is
usually sufficient.
Hardened earwax, excessive wax formation or malfunctions of the self-cleaning mechanism can lead to a blockage of the ear canal (for example due to earwax plugs). This in turn can cause earache and hearing loss.
OtoCura® can soften the earwax and favour the normal self-cleaning. Otherwise, you can soften the
earwax blockage with Otocura® a few days before going to the doctor, so that professional cleaning
(e.g. ear irrigation) can be carried out more easily. If the earache persists over a longer period and/or is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g. fever, dizziness), please consult your doctor.
