Medicinal Benefits of Ulcoat Ano Rectal Cream

LIDOCAINE+SUCRALFATE contains two medicines, namely Sucralfate' and 'Lidocaine'. Sucralfate is an anti-ulcer drug that forms a coating over the affected area of skin and promotes piles' fast healing. Lidocaine blocks the influx (entry) of sodium ions into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing impulses' initiation and conduction. Hence, it gives an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain.

Directions for Use

Take a measured dose of LIDOCAINE+SUCRALFATE cream and administer it directly into the back passage (rectum).LIDOCAINE+SUCRALFATE is not allowed to take by mouth or other administration routes.
