Urea Hydrogen Peroxide Ear Drops

VERBATIM UK SPC §4.2: 'For adults, children and the elderly: Instill up to 5 drops into the ear. Retain drops in ear for several minutes by keeping the head tilted and then wipe away any surplus. Repeat once or twice daily for at least 3 to 4 days, or as required.' This §4.2 is COMPLETE in the bundle (no truncation marker) and is the label's only regimen — it applies to adults, children and the elderly alike, so there is no separate adult figure. SOURCE IDENTITY: the fetched product is Otex Ear Drops, which is one of this page's own listed brands (Exterol, Otex, Earex Plus) and matches the page on active class, route (otic) and indication (ear wax). The label's §4.8 corroborates the peroxide mechanism — 'Due to the release of oxygen, patients may experience a mild, temporary effervescence in the ear.' NOT COVERED: the bundle contains only this one brand's SPC. Other urea hydrogen peroxide ear drops on this page (Exterol, Earex Plus) were not fetched; do not assume identical drop counts or courses for a different presentation without checking that product's own SPC. ADMINISTRATION CAUTIONS from §4.4/§4.5: 'Keep Otex away from the eyes. For external use only.' 'Otex should not be used at the same time as anything else in the ear.'

dosePerKg is null deliberately: this is a topical otic preparation with a fixed drop count and NO weight-based dosing — a per-kg calculator must never run on it. The label gives ONE regimen for all ages: VERBATIM §4.2 'For adults, children and the elderly: Instill up to 5 drops into the ear.' No minimum age is stated in the fetched sections, and no separate paediatric figure exists. §4.3 does bear directly on children: do not use if the eardrum is known or suspected to be damaged, or where there is or has been any other ear disorder, and 'Do not use after ill-advised attempts to dislodge wax using fingernails, cotton buds or similar implements.' Verify any under-18 use against a children's formulary.
