Interactions
Adverse Effects
Side effects of Sodium Bicarbonate ear preparation :
Sodium bicarbonate ear drops can sometimes cause dryness in the ear canal, but this is rarely troublesome. It is unlikely that one will experience any other side effects.
Mechanism of Action
Ear wax which often obstructs the external auditory meatus of the ear contains less than 50% of fatty matter derived from secretions of the sebaceous ceruminous glands. The majority of the wax consists of desquamated epithelium, foreign matter and shed hairs. This non-fatty material forms a matrix holding together the granules of fatty matter to form the ceruminous mass.
The addition of oils or solvents binds the mass more firmly together, but aqueous solutions, if they are able to penetrate the matrix, cause a disintegration of the ceruminous mass. Sodium bicarbonate ear drops actively dissolve the wax rapidly by penetrating the dry matrix of the ceruminous mass, reducing the solid ear wax to Semi-Solid debris. It is a quicker, more effective method for wax removal.
