Description
What is Xyloproct Ointment?
Xyloproct Ointment is a combination medication used to relieve pain, itching, and inflammation associated with haemorrhoids and other anorectal conditions, such as anal fissures. It contains two active ingredients: lidocaine, a local anaesthetic that numbs the area and reduces pain and discomfort, and hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching. Xyloproct is often used for short-term relief of symptoms related to haemorrhoids, fissures, or post-surgical anal discomfort. Its soothing formula makes it ideal for treating sensitive areas.
How Does Xyloproct Work?
Xyloproct Ointment works by combining the effects of a local anaesthetic (lidocaine) and a corticosteroid (hydrocortisone) to target the symptoms of haemorrhoids and other anorectal conditions. Lidocaine numbs the affected area, providing immediate relief from pain and discomfort by blocking nerve signals in the skin and tissues. Hydrocortisone, on the other hand, works to reduce inflammation, swelling, and itching by suppressing the immune response in the treated area. This dual-action formula ensures fast relief from the most common symptoms of haemorrhoids and similar conditions, allowing patients to manage their symptoms effectively.
