About
Beclomethasone Dipropionate+phenylephrine Hydrochloride+lignocaine Hydrochloride+chlorocresol belongs to the class of ‘anorectal preparations’ primarily used to treat pain and bleeding associated with anal fissures, external or internal haemorrhoids (piles), post haemorrhoidectomy pain (pain after surgery to remove piles), and proctitis (inflammation of the rectum). An anal fissure is defined as a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus. Haemorrhoids or piles are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding.

Lignocaine hydrochloride causes temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. Phenylephrine hydrochloride decreases itching, burning, irritation, and swelling by shrinking the blood vessels in the affected area.
