About Sucralcoat Ano Cream 20 gm

Sucralcoat Ano Cream 20 gm belongs to the group of medicines known as 'vasoprotective', primarily indicated in the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles). Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are a medical condition that happens when veins present in the anus and rectum area(the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) get swell and become painful.
