Remember, any ear disease, including the seemingly harmless wax plug, is a reason to see a doctor and get examined. Only a specialist can choose the right treatment, solve the problem in a timely manner and significantly reduce the risk of complications. And the drug Remo Vax, when used correctly and regularly, will serve as a good preventative measure and a way to eliminate excess wax from the ear canal.
Recommended
To remove excess earwax in children from birth and adults.
Earwax is a secretion of the glands of the external auditory canal, contains proteins, lipids, immunoglobulins and lysozyme, which maintain skin hydration and protect it from damage and bacteria. It usually removes itself when chewed. The secretion of sulfur increases many times with irritation from dust, water, in-ear headphones or earplugs, cotton swabs, metabolic disorders, sudden climate change or skin diseases; it does not have time to be removed and, accumulating, can form a sulfur plug, which can cause hearing loss, headache, nausea, dizziness, and vomiting.
REMO-VAX
Wax plugs, what is it?
The formation of earwax is a natural process, which means that the body is performing its functions correctly.
Earwax helps get rid of everything that gets into the ears: germs, insects, dirt. Wax can accumulate in the ear canal, forming a so-called cerumen plug. Some people never develop such plugs, but many suffer from it regularly.
Wax plug, reducing the lumen of the external auditory canal, weakens hearing, can cause a feeling of ear fullness, ringing (noise) in the ears and even headaches, dizziness and loss of coordination. It can also cause pain, swelling, itching and ultimately, infections of the outer ear.
If you have wax plugs, they must be removed.
The appearance and growth of sulfur plugs are promoted by:
• Increased hair growth in the external auditory canal with age • Congenital or acquired changes leading to deformation of the ear canal • Use of hearing aids • Presence of foreign objects in the ear canal (headphones, Hands free) • Water sports – “swimmer’s ear” • Attempts to remove earwax using cotton swabs.
Improper ear care
The most common way to combat excess earwax is to use cotton swabs. However, this method often brings negative results. The use of cotton swabs only increases the risk of plug formation, both by irritating the skin of the ear canal and by “compacting” the already formed wax. In addition, the use of cotton swabs leads to the movement of sulfur to the eardrum, from where it can no longer be removed by chewing movements. And in children, given their mobility and the difficulty of objective control of the procedure carried out by parents, the use of cotton swabs often leads to injury to the external auditory canal, and in some cases to damage and perforation of the eardrum.
In this regard, the value of a new Finnish hygienic product for removing earwax and preventing the formation of cerumen plugs is increasing - REMO-VAX .

Directions for use and doses
Locally, after holding the bottle in your clenched palm for 1–2 minutes to warm it to body temperature.
1. Lie on the side opposite the ear being treated. To straighten the external auditory canal, you should gently pull the ear lobe down and back (in newborns and children under 1 year old, carefully move the auricle up and back), drip about 20 drops of Remo-Vax along the back wall (the amount depends on the size of the ear canal, the level of the solution should approximately reach the border of the transition to the auricle. However, less than 10 drops do not completely cover all the walls of the ear canal).
Important! You should not try to drip into the center of the ear - an air plug may form (especially if the ear canal is narrow, tortuous or deformed, including as a result of previous otitis media).
You should not place cotton wool or cotton pads in your ear, because... they absorb the solution before it has a chance to take effect.
2. Wait 5–10 minutes. Then let the solution drain for 1 minute, turning over on the other side (or leaning over a sink/napkin). The solution may turn light or dark brown (due to dissolved sulfur). No additional rinsing is required.
For regular hygiene, it is enough to use the drug once every 2 weeks.
To remove wax plug, it is necessary to increase the action time to 20–40 minutes. In very rare cases, it may be necessary to repeat the procedure daily - up to 5 times in a row.
Clinical experience has confirmed the safety and lack of irritation even with long-term use, incl. in young children with severe skin and allergic diseases.
Side effects

- dizziness;
- allergic reactions of local and general nature;
- a feeling of dryness in the ear, as well as irritation and itching;

Important! If you notice any disturbing symptoms while using Remo Vax ear drops, including pain, stop the procedure immediately and consult a doctor.
special instructions
You should not try to penetrate deep into the ear canal with a cotton swab or other object (they cause microtraumas that will facilitate the penetration of infection and can lead to injury to the eardrum).

Cotton swabs can only be used to clean the ear!
The shelf life is not reduced by opening the bottle and regular use of the product.

pharmachologic effect
Drops in the ears of Remo-vax help dissolve the secretion of the glands of the external auditory canal. An increase in the production of sulfur occurs due to a sharp change in climate, water getting into the ears, the use of headphones, earplugs, etc. The solution promotes the separation of keratinized cells of the ear canal, suppresses the proliferation of microorganisms, and narrows the pores. The drops moisturize the sulfur plug, which helps to wash it out quickly and easily. This is one of the best ear hygiene products.
