Comment:
I've cleaned out my ears annually for nearly thirty years because of regular wax blockages. Take my advice and use hydrogen peroxide -- a few drops -- and a rubber bulb syringe. It's cheaper and better than this awful product. Or just go to the doctor. I made the mistake of trying Debrox just to clear my ears a little when they weren't very blocked.

This is day 4th since my left ear has been clogged. I used this product hoping it would help. However, it made even a bigger problem. I am in horrible plain and cannot sleep. My ear is even more clogged and now it is even ringing. Please, do not make the same mistake I did. I am seeing a doctor now because of this product.

I had pain in my right ear accompanied with discharge. The PCP asked me to get Debrox. But, this product is giving me even more pain. It’s been 3 days and I have not been able to sleep, open my mouth and do my work.

Comment:
Lost my hearing for three days in both ears-went to ear doctor who cleaned ears and my right is better. I am afraid that I have lost my hearing in my left ear for life - time will tell. I have severe ringing in my left ear - had to miss three days of work andmultiple trips to the doctor. I live on a military base and it is difficult to get off base. This is sold in the PX - worst mistake ever.
