glycerin + oxyquinoline sulfate

Glycerin + oxyquinoline sulfate is a combination of two agents commonly used as inactive and active components in various topical and otic (ear) or vaginal preparations. Glycerin acts primarily as a hygroscopic agent, drawing moisture to the area of application, softening tissues, and providing soothing effects. Oxyquinoline sulfate is an antiseptic compound with mild fungistatic and bacteriostatic properties; it acts as a biocide to eliminate bacteria and fungi, though its precise mechanism of action is not fully understood. This combination may be found in products intended for restoring or maintaining normal pH (such as vaginal jellies) or for use in otic solutions where it serves both antimicrobial and supportive roles[1][6][7]. The primary indications are adjunctive therapy for restoration/maintenance of vaginal acidity or as part of ear drop formulations.
