  • Title: A nonprescription cerumenolytic.
    Author: Chen DA, Caparosa RJ.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1991 Nov; 12(6):475-6. PubMed ID: 1725243.
    Abstract:
    Cerumen impaction and removal is a very common otologic problem. The perfect cerumenolytic agent has yet to be developed. After years of trying multiple different cerumenolytics without satisfaction, a stool softener, docusate sodium, has become our agent of choice. A commonly used stool softener, it is widely available without prescription. It is a highly effective cerumenolytic, but remains relatively unknown in this capacity.
