Exterol ear drops contain urea hydrogen peroxide, a gentle effervescent agent that softens and loosens hardened earwax to aid its natural removal. The fizzing action — familiar to many users — indicates the formula is working to break down compacted wax within the ear canal. Exterol is suitable for adults and children aged one year and over, making it one of the more broadly applicable over-the-counter options for earwax softening available without a prescription. For those comparing options, Exterol differs from oil-based drops such as Cerumol in that it uses an oxidising agent rather than a lubricant, which produces the characteristic bubbling sensation on application. Results typically take several days of regular use; the patient information leaflet specifies the recommended dosage and frequency, which should be followed carefully. Always read the label before use and speak to your pharmacist if symptoms persist or worsen. Ronaghan's Pharmacy stocks Exterol alongside a wider selection of earwax management products.
