Yes, ostomy deodorant can help manage pouch odor after emptying when used according to the product directions. Many pouch deodorants, liquid deodorants, gels, drops, or lubricating deodorants are added directly inside a drainable ostomy pouch after it has been emptied.
Some ostomy deodorants are designed mainly for odor control, while lubricating deodorants may also help coat the inside of the pouch so output moves more easily toward the bottom. Product specifications should be reviewed carefully to confirm intended use, pouch compatibility, deodorizing function, lubricating properties, fragrance, amount to use, and directions for colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy pouches.
