    True or False: The ADULT dose of Debrox should be dosed as 5 to 10 drops twice daily up to 4 days in affected ear(s)

    Explanation & Rationale

    Debrox (carbamide peroxide 6.5%) is an over-the-counter earwax softening agent used to treat cerumen impaction in adults. The recommended adult dosing is 5 to 10 drops instilled into the affected ear(s) twice daily for up to 4 days. The drops help soften and loosen earwax, making removal easier. Patients should avoid using Debrox if they have a perforated eardrum or signs of ear infection. It is important to follow the dosing instructions carefully to prevent irritation, and patients should seek medical evaluation if symptoms persist beyond 4 days.
