About Sitcom Forte Tablet

Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain and bleeding. Sitcom Forte Tablet provides relief from pain, inflammation, discomfort and itching associated with piles.

Sitcom Forte Tablet contains Calcium Dobesilate and Euphorbia prostrata extract. Sitcom Forte Tablet is effective in controlling bleeding from the engorged anal veins by enhancing the free flow of blood through the veins. It promotes healing and reduces inflammation by decreasing the viscosity of the blood and reducing leakage from the blood vessels.

Uses of Sitcom Forte Tablet

Treatment of Haemorrhoids

Medicinal Benefits

Sitcom Forte Tablet contains Calcium Dobesilate and Euphorbia prostrata extract. It is used primarily in the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles). Calcium dobesilate helps control and arrest bleeding by enhancing blood health and integrity. It prevents oxidation of blood and damage that leads to shedding or bleeding. Thus, it prevents leakage and oozing of blood from piles. It aids the natural clotting process and augments the healing process. Euphorbia prostrata is a plant extract. By action of its flavonoids, tannins and phenolic acid, euphorbia prostrata exerts an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory action and helps in shrinkage of engorged blood vessels and arresting bleeding, thereby relieving the pain, congestion and discomfort caused by haemorrhoids.
