CALCIUM DOBESILATE+HYDROCORTISONE+LIDOCAINE
About
CALCIUM DOBESILATE+HYDROCORTISONE+LIDOCAINE belongs to a class of medications called 'anorectal preparations' primarily used in the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles). It helps in relieving itching, pain, swelling and discomfort caused by piles and other problems in the anal area. Haemorrhoids are also known as piles, a medical condition that occurs when veins present in the anus and rectum area (the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) swell and become painful.
CALCIUM DOBESILATE+HYDROCORTISONE+LIDOCAINE is a combination of three drugs, namely: Calcium dobesilate (vasoprotective), Hydrocortisone (steroid) and Lidocaine (local anaesthetic). Calcium dobesilate is a vasoprotective (prevent diseases that affect blood vessels) agent that acts on the walls of small blood vessels and reduces their delicacy and leakage. Also, it improves blood flow by reducing the thickness of blood and helps in relieving redness and swelling in piles. Hydrocortisone belongs to the class of steroids that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling caused due to piles. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that decreases pain sensation by preventing the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Haemorrhoids: They are also known as piles, a medical condition that occurs when veins present in the anus and rectum area (the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) swell and become painful. Piles can be either internal or external. Internal haemorrhoids occur within the rectum as the rectum area has fewer pain receptors, less troublesome, and painful. At the same time, external haemorrhoids occur at the outside of the anus and are most painful. Some of the common symptoms of haemorrhoids are itching, pain, swelling, and trouble sitting. If proper treatment is not provided at the right time, haemorrhoids become irritated and cause bleeding.
