Wax-O-Sol 25% Indications
WAX-O-SOL is intended as a cleansing agent for ears in dogs and cats. It facilitates proper otoscopic examination and permits more intimate contact between a therapeutic agent and a cleansed ear canal.
Mode Of Action
WAX-O-SOL is a solubilizing and cleansing agent, freely miscible with cerumen, as well as other oils, fats, and waxes of the skin. It relies on its physical action for its cleaning effect. WAX-O-SOL is non-irritating and non-allergenic.
Administration And Dosage
Routine Examination Of The Ear Canal
Before proceeding with a general examination of the patient, a dropperful of WAX-O-SOL is placed in the ear and the ear canal is gently massaged. A pledget of cotton in the ear will help retain the WAX-O-SOL and keep the animal from shaking it from the canal. Usually within 2 to 3 minutes or after the veterinarian completes his/her general examination of the animal, the ear is cleaned with a pledget of cotton and otoscopic examination is greatly enhanced.
Cleansing The Ear As An Adjunct To Treatment Of Seborrheic Otitis And Otitis External
A dropperful of WAX-O-SOL is instilled in the ear canal and the canal is gently massaged. Any debris brought to the surface is gently removed with a pledget of cotton. Treatment is administered 1 to 3 times daily and may be repeated for several days if necessary. Specific therapy may then be instituted in a properly cleansed ear canal.
