Description

What Is Uniroid HC Ointment?

Uniroid HC Ointment is a dual-action treatment for Hemorrhoids. It helps relieve pain, discomfort, itching and reduces the size of the piles. Uniroid-HC Ointment is suitable for treating external hemorrhoids around the anal area through direct application. When the hemorrhoid is internal, the patient should use the plastic nozzle available in every tube to insert the drug into the rectum comfortably. It contains two active ingredients: Hydrocortisone, a mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling, and Cinchocaine, a local anaesthetic that numbs the area, providing fast pain relief. This combination makes Uniroid HC effective at treating both internal and external piles. The ointment also helps reduce irritation and itching in the affected area. It is packed in a 30g tube with an attachable plastic nozzle and a patient information leaflet to guide the patient.

How Does Uniroid HC Ointment Work?

Uniroid- Hc Ointment contains two active ingredients; Cinchocaine Hydrochloride and Hydrocortisone. Cinchocaine is a local anesthetic that blocks pain messages along the nerves. It causes a numbing sensation in the area where the ointment is applied. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that relieves pain and inflammation. Inflammation occurs from an immune response that causes blood vessels to dilate. The result is that the affected area becomes red, itchy, and swollen. Uniroid HC Ointment reduces painful inflammation and lumps.
