Desol Ear Drop is a combination of four medicines: Benzocaine, Chlorbutol, Paradichlorobenzene and Turpentine Oil. Benzocaine is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain which decreases sensation of pain. Chlorbutol is a preservative. Paradichlorobenzene is an ear wax softener which dissolves the ear wax while exerting antibacterial and antifungal actions. Turpentine Oil is a lubricant.
Benzocaine reversibly stabilizes the neuronal membrane which decreases its permeability to sodium ions. Depolarization of the neuronal membrane is inhibited thereby blocking the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses.After the first dose of chlorbutol, the terminal elimination half-life was 10.3 +/-1.3 days (mean +/- S.E.M), the volume of distribution was 233 +/- 141 and the plasma clearance was 11.6 +/- 1.0 ml min-1. The binding to plasma proteins was 57 +/- 3 per cent.The mode of action of paradichlorobenzene on non-target organisms is not precisely known, but may involve the binding of its oxidative metabolites such as the epoxide to proteins within the cells of mammals. Dichlorophenol, a product of epoxide hydrolysis, may be involved in nephropathy.Turpentine oil, when inhaled, may help reduce congestion. When used on the skin, turpentine oil may cause warmth and redness that can help relieve pain in the tissue underneath. Binding of turpentine oil or inflammatory cytokines e.g. interleukin-1 (IL-1) activate signalling through the IL-1 Type 1 receptor (IL-1 R1).
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
