Pharmacodynamics

The drug has a bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, astringent and antispasmodic effect.

The drug's components provide an antihemorrhoidal effect (under the influence of esculus, which has a strong angioprotective and venotonic effect). Along with this, an antispasmodic effect develops, and inflammations arising from itching or cracks in the anal area are eliminated.

Chamomile extract, benzocaine, and cinquefoil essence with belladonna help reduce pain.
