Pharmacodynamics

Atropine (which is a highly active belladonna alkaloid) has an analgesic and antispasmodic effect, which is why it is often used to treat diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, which are accompanied by muscle spasms: spastic colitis, ulcers, colic in the stomach or intestines, and pylorospasm. Since pain often occurs due to spasms, atropine eliminates pain along with their elimination. Belladonna extract in the form of suppositories is used to eliminate hemorrhoids and spasms of the uterine muscles.

The ichthyol component has anti-inflammatory, keratoplastic, disinfectant and local analgesic properties. The high level of sulfur inside the component provides an antimicrobial effect. After local use, pain and exudation are reduced, and in addition, blood circulation processes are improved and tissue healing is accelerated.
