Spear Ointment 30 gm

Spear Ointment belongs to the group of anorectal preparations used to treat anal fissures and haemorrhoids (piles). An anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus. Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. 

Spear Ointment contains 'Cinchocaine hydrochloride and Policresulen'. Spear Ointment helps in alleviating pain and itching that occur as a result of inflammation. Spear Ointment works by numbing the area of application and reducing any unpleasant sensations in or around the anal region.

In some cases, Spear Ointment may cause certain very occasional side effects such as temporary stinging, skin rash and skin sagging. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects consistently.

Inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components of Spear Ointment. Avoid Spear Ointment in case of any systemic infection. Discuss your entire medical history with the doctor. Inform the doctor of any medications you are currently on. Consult your doctor before using Spear Ointment during pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding.

Spear Ointment is a skin ointment that has anaesthetic and pain-numbing properties. It contains Cinchocaine hydrochloride and policresulen. Spear Ointment is used to relieve the pain, discomfort and itchiness associated with anal fissure and haemorrhoids (piles). Cinchocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic that blocks the transmission of impulses across nerves, thereby easing the sensation of pain. It inactivates the sodium channels in the nerve cell membrane, thereby preventing the sodium-induced activation of the cell and precluding any transmission of nerve impulses that produce the sensation of pain. Policresulen functions as an antiseptic and haemostatic agent by virtue of its bacteria and fungus-killing nature and helps arrest bleeding. Spear Ointment is hence used to treat anal fissures and haemorrhoids.

• Drinking enough water and keeping your skin hydrated can go a long way in preventing piles. While the generally accepted rule is 8-12 glasses of water per day, the trick is to make sure you drink water each time you feel thirsty. 
• Practising personal hygiene is also very effective in preventing anal infections and haemorrhoids.
• Practise safe, vaginal sex.
• A fibre-rich diet is very helpful in ensuring normal bowel movements and preventing haemorrhoids. Whole-grain foods, fruits, vegetables, pulses, whole-wheat bread and pasta are rich in fibre. 
• Limit or avoid your use of alcohol and caffeine as these can dysregulate normal bowel movements.
• Exercising for 30 minutes every day can be very beneficial in staying fit and preventing the occurrence of piles. You may even break down your daily exercise regimen into bit-sized workouts or activities of 10 minutes each. 
• Avoid smoking as this can hamper wound healing.
