1. What is Ototalgin and what is it used for
Ototalgin is a medicine indicated for short-term use in inflammatory conditions of the external auditory canal, characterized by pain, itching, and redness.
The medicine is recommended for softening and removing earwax before rinsing the external auditory canal.
