Osil Cream 30 gm

Osil Cream 30 gm belongs to the group of medicines called anorectal preparations used to treat anal fissures and haemorrhoids (piles). Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain and bleeding. An anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus. This causes pain and bleeding during or after a bowel movement. Osil Cream 30 gm provides relief from pain, inflammation, discomfort and itching associated with piles and anal fissures.
 
Osil Cream 30 gm contains Calcium dobesilate (vasoprotective agent), Hydrocortisone (steroid), Lidocaine (local anaesthetic), Allantoin (skin protectant) and Aloe vera (anti-inflammatory). Calcium dobesilate promotes healing and reduces inflammation by decreasing the blood viscosity and reducing leakage from the blood vessels. Hydrocortisone helps in reducing itching, redness and swelling due to piles. Lidocaine blocks the pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby decreases the sensation of pain. Allantoin decreases pain and discomfort by shrinking the blood vessels in the affected area. Aloe vera reduces inflammation and provides relief from itching and pain. Together, Osil Cream 30 gm provides relief from pain and discomfort due to piles and anal fissures.
