What is Carbamide peroxide (monograph)?

Introduction

Source of hydrogen peroxide and nascent oxygen; release of oxygen results in mild mechanical effervescence.

Uses for Carbamide Peroxide

Cerumen Removal

Occasional aid to soften, loosen, and remove excessive cerumen (earwax) from external ear canal.

Oral Irritation and Inflammation

Oral debriding agent and oral wound cleanser for topical treatment of canker sores (aphthous ulcers) and minor wounds or gum inflammation resulting from minor dental procedures, dentures, orthodontic appliances, accidental injury, or other irritations of the mouth and gums.

Aid in removal of phlegm, mucus, or other secretions associated with occasional sore mouth.

Adjunct to oral hygiene when normal cleansing measures are inadequate or impossible (e.g., total-care geriatric patients) or adjunct to oral hygiene after regular brushing.

Carbamide Peroxide Dosage and Administration

Administration

Otic Administration

Instill into external ear canal as a 6.5% otic solution.

For topical otic use only.

Avoid contact with eyes. If contact with eyes occurs, flush eyes with water and consult clinician.

Tilt head sideways and instill 5–10 drops of otic solution into ear; do not insert applicator tip into ear canal.

Keep solution in ear canal for several minutes by maintaining tilted head or placing cotton or an ear plug in the ear.

Foaming may occur in ear canal and crackling sound may be heard when otic solution contacts earwax and oxygen is released.
