Proctosedyl Ointment

How Does Proctosedyl Ointment Work?

Proctosedyl ointment’s active ingredient by the name of Cinchocaine belongs to a group of medicines called a local anaesthetic. This medicine group works by blocking the pain messages that are sent along the nerve fibres at the point of application in the body. This process stops the pain signals from reaching the brain and causes a numbing sensation in the application area.

Hydrocortisone is a type of natural steroid called corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are naturally produced in the body and one of their main functions is to control inflammatory responses in the body. When the body is exposed to an allergen or a trigger, the immune system releases inflammatory chemicals that will irritate the skin. Corticosteroids prevent skin cells from releasing the inflammatory response and therefore reduces the swelling, redness and itchiness.
