Icthamol Glycerine 30gm is a medicine that contains Ichthammol + Glycerin 30g, a soothing anti-inflammatory preparation. It is used for boils and ear canal inflammation, outer ear infection (otitis externa). Pack size: icthamol glycerine 30gm.

Uses of Icthamol Glycerine 30gm

Icthamol Glycerine 30gm is used to ease inflammation and discomfort in the outer ear canal (otitis externa), often applied on a gauze wick inserted by a doctor or nurse to reduce swelling. It is also traditionally applied to boils and other small areas of inflamed skin to soothe them. A doctor should check ear infections, as antibiotic drops may also be needed.

How Icthamol Glycerine 30gm works

Ichthammol, derived from sulphur-rich shale oil, has mild anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Glycerin draws water out of swollen tissue by osmosis. Together they reduce swelling and soreness, which in the ear helps open the canal so other treatments can reach the infection.

Possible side effects

Icthamol Glycerine 30gm is generally well tolerated, though it may cause:

• Mild stinging or irritation
• Brown staining of skin and clothing
• Strong smell
• Redness where applied

See a doctor if you develop fever, spreading redness, severe pain, discharge from the ear or hearing loss, or if a boil gets larger rather than settling.

Precautions and warnings

• It is for external use only; avoid the eyes and do not swallow.
• Do not use it in the ear if you have, or may have, a perforated eardrum, unless a doctor has examined you.
• Boils on the face, or boils that keep coming back, should be checked by a doctor.
• Stop using it if irritation develops, and use it only for the time advised.
• Ask a pharmacist before use in pregnancy, breastfeeding or on young children.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
