About Pilsoft Cream 30 gm

Pilsoft Cream 30 gm belongs to a class of medications called 'anorectal preparations' primarily used in the treatment of anal fissure (small tear in the anus lining), fistula (abnormal skin opening near the anus) and piles (inflamed and swollen veins in rectum). Anorectal disorders occur at the junction of the anal canal and the rectum, including haemorrhoids, abscesses, fistula, fissures, anal itching and warts. It is characterized by the accumulation of veins at the anus with frequent mucus and bleeding while straining for stool passage.

Metronidazole belongs to the class of antibiotics that prevents bacterial infection caused due to exposed skin surface of the anus.
