Pilorute Cream 30 gm

Pilorute 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 the 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. Pilorute Cream 30 gm relieves pain, inflammation, discomfort and itching associated with piles and anal fissures.
 
Pilorute Cream 30 gm contains Calcium dobesilate (vasoprotective agent), Hydrocortisone (steroid), Lidocaine (local anaesthetic), Troxerutin (vasoprotective agent), Zinc oxide (antiseptic) and Phenylephrine (decongestant). Calcium dobesilate and Troxerutin promote healing and lower inflammation by decreasing the viscosity of the blood 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 decreasing the sensation of pain. Phenylephrine decreases irritation and discomfort by shrinking the blood vessels in the affected area. Zinc oxide has an antiseptic and astringent action. Together, Pilorute Cream 30 gm provides relief from pain and discomfort due to piles and anal fissures.
