Overview
Care Sodium Bicarbonate Ear Drops is a medicine which helps remove the hardened wax from the ear canal. Its active ingredient is sodium bicarbonate.
It physically softens the ear wax to help you easily remove it by syringing. Removing the excess build-up of ear wax helps relieve the earache and itchiness, and improves hearing.
