Both Doxiproct and Doxiproct Plus are used to relieve the symptoms of hemorrhoids, but they differ in their pharmaceutical composition. Doxiproct Plus contains additional ingredients to reduce inflammation and local pain. Understanding this difference helps determine which ointment is best for symptom relief.
Doxiproct Ointment Ingredients
Doxiproct Ointment contains the active ingredient calcium dobesilate. Calcium dobesilate is believed to work by strengthening the walls of small blood vessels, reducing their permeability, and improving local blood circulation. It may help reduce swelling and bleeding associated with hemorrhoids.
Doxiproct Plus Ointment Ingredients
Doxiproct Plus Ointment contains a triple combination of active ingredients:
Calcium dobesilate: works in the same way as Doxyproct Ointment (strengthening blood vessels and improving circulation).
Dexamethasone: a powerful anti-inflammatory corticosteroid that works by reducing swelling, redness, itching, and pain associated with hemorrhoids. Lidocaine: A local anesthetic that works by numbing the area and reducing pain, discomfort, and itching.
