Composition

Active Ingredients (common formulation may vary):

• Cinchocaine Hydrochloride: A local anesthetic that helps to numb pain.
• Hydrocortisone: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching.
• Other Ingredients: Depending on the brand, it may also contain agents that provide soothing effects and help in healing.

Indications

• Hemorrhoids: Both internal and external.
• Anal Fissures: Small tears in the lining of the anus.
• Proctitis: Inflammation of the lining of the rectum.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and application instructions should be followed as per a healthcare providers recommendation. General guidelines include:

Mechanism of Action

• Cinchocaine Hydrochloride: Works as a local anesthetic to provide pain relief by blocking nerve signals in the affected area.
• Hydrocortisone: Acts by reducing the production of inflammatory chemicals in the body, thereby reducing inflammation, swelling, and itching.

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before use.
• Avoid Long-term Use: Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids can cause skin thinning and other side effects.
• Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not use on other areas of the body unless directed by a healthcare provider.
