What is Antipyrine Benzocaine UPolycosanol 410 combination medicine

Antipyrine Benzocaine UPolycosanol 410 are used together in an otic preparation to relieve pain and reduce inflammation associated with otitis media.

The combination is also used to facilitate ear wax removal. The original Auralgan formulation contained antipyrine and benzocaine.

In March 2010, the FDA approved a formulation of Auralgan that contains the active ingredients Antipyrine Benzocaine UPolycosanol 410.
