Proctosedyl ointment is a translucent greasy ointment. Each gram of ointment contains two active ingredients, 5 mg of Cinchocaine hydrochloride and 5 mg of Hydrocortisone and other inactive ingredients. Cinchocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic. It works by causing numbness in the area to which it has been applied. It inhibits feeling pain in that area and helps lessen the spasm of the back passage. Hydrocortisone belongs to a group of medicine called corticosteroids which is used to reduce inflammation. It works by acting inside the cells by decreasing the production of substances that cause inflammation, swelling, redness and itching and discharge. Hydrocortisone treats haemorrhoids by inhibiting inflamed blood vessels in the area and helps the swollen blood vessels to return to their normal size. Proctosedyl [Cinchocaine hydrochloride & Hydrocortisone] ointment is available in a 30 g tube with a plastic nozzle.
Proctosedyl [Cinchocaine hydrochloride & Hydrocortisone] ointment is used in pain, irritation, discharge and itching associated with swollen or enlarged blood vessels in and around the back passage such as anal itch, piles (haemorrhoids) and anal fissures.
