- Action:
The active substance of Otinum in the form of ear drops is a derivative of salicylic acid – choline salicylate.
Choline salicylate has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties when applied topically. This reduces pain and inflammation in the course of inflammation of the external auditory canal.
The glycerol contained in the medicine softens earwax, making it easier to remove. When applied topically to the ear, the medicine does not have a systemic effect
