Burows Otic
Related topics are listed below.How long can u use this after it expires? ## Hi cindt, According to the manufacturer, Otic Edge (acetic acid + antipyrine + benzocaine + Policosanol) should be properly discarded when it is expired or no longer needed. They then recommend contacting your pharmacist or waste company for specific details on how to go about that safely. Pills are one thing, but when it comes to liquid eye drops, I don't think there's anyway to know for sure if the contents are still safe outside of the marked expiration date, because it may be difficult to determine if the product is degrading or not. How long has it been since the listed expiration date?...

1 REPLYDoes this medication cause numbness to your face? ## Hi Rosa, If you are experiencing numbness or itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), then it is 'very likely' due to an allergic reaction of the medication itself. Also, Benzocaine, one of the main ingredients in this solution, is an anesthetic that helps to numb the pain. Is it possible that you may have used too much and got too much of a numbness effect by doing so? If you haven't already done so, I think it may be a good idea to consider contacting your doctor about switching medications or opting for a more natural alternative to this one, if the side effects become too bothersome or severe. I hope this helps! ## My ear is like bombt a thing a can't hear nothin my mom says its air inside my ear ca......
