Temporarily relieves pain and inflammation associated with otitis externa (swimmer's ear), otitis media with tympanostomy tubes, and barotrauma-related ear pain. Often used after ear procedures or for relief of congestion and pressure in the middle ear.

Benzocaine provides local anesthetic numbing effect, antipyrine reduces pain and inflammation as an analgesic, and zinc acetate acts as an astringent to help reduce swelling and promote drying of the affected ear tissue.

For otic use only—do not ingest or apply to eyes. Avoid use if the eardrum is perforated or if there is a known allergy to any ingredients. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen, persist beyond recommended duration, or if fever develops. Not recommended for infants without medical supervision.
