Used for symptomatic treatment of internal and external hemorrhoids, including relief of itching, burning, pain, and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids and anal fissures.

Zinc oxide and bismuth subnitrate provide a protective barrier over the affected area while offering mild astringent effects. Polidocanol acts as a local anesthetic and sclerosing agent to reduce pain and help shrink hemorrhoidal tissue.
