phenazone

Tropex is an otic solution containing phenazone, developed and marketed by Rowa Pharmaceuticals. Phenazone is a pyrazolone derivative with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, belonging to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. The product is specifically formulated as ear drops in a glycerol vehicle. It is indicated for the symptomatic relief of ear pain associated with conditions such as otitis media and for the softening of impacted earwax. The glycerol base acts as a hygroscopic agent, which helps to reduce edema and inflammation in the ear canal by drawing out moisture, while the phenazone provides local analgesic effects.
