This was given to my son for his first earache/infection along with amoxycillin. However, it was too expensive at the pharmacy costing $200. It was given to him at the doctor's office and took effect immediately.

i am 63, my mother used it on me dozens of times, i used it on my 3 sons and why dont docs use it now. It numbs it quickly ahhh, the pain is gone

Auralgan works well but is unbelievably expensive, $298 for about 15ml of benzocain. There s a similar generic, A/B Otic for about $30.

This drug has NOT been approved by the FDA: See http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm243638.htm?sms, do NOT allow your Dr. to prescribe at this time.

The cost of over $280. at CVS was prohibitive for a senior citizen.

My doctor prescribed this medication for pain in my ear. I was surprised how well it worked. No side effects. It is difficult to instill in ear by yourself. I recommend having someone do it for you. Also, my doctor told me to keep the medication in the fridge. The medication works better if it is cooler. Hope this was helpful.
