Olive Oil Ear Drops are used to soften and loosen earwax, helping the ear naturally remove excess or hardened wax.

The olive oil helps soften and lubricate earwax, making it easier for the wax to move out of the ear naturally.

Tilt your head or lie on your side with the affected ear facing upwards. Apply the recommended number of drops as directed on the product packaging, then remain in position for a few minutes.

Use the drops according to the instructions on the product packaging. Do not use them more frequently or for longer than recommended.

They may help when a blocked ear is caused by a build-up of earwax by softening the wax and supporting its natural removal.

Some olive oil ear drops may be suitable for children, but age recommendations vary between products. Always check the packaging or ask a pharmacist before use in children.

Do not use ear drops to treat unexplained ear pain without seeking advice. Speak to a pharmacist or healthcare professional, particularly if you have pain, discharge or suspected infection.

Do not use olive oil ear drops if you have, or suspect you may have, a perforated eardrum unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

Some people may experience temporary irritation or discomfort. Stop using the drops and seek medical advice if you experience significant pain, irritation, dizziness or other unusual symptoms.

Speak to a pharmacist or healthcare professional if symptoms do not improve, your ear remains blocked, or you develop significant pain, discharge, hearing loss or other concerning symptoms.
