Medicine Description procto-4-supp 10mg
Procto-4 10mg Supp is a medication that combines bisacodyl, dexamethasone, and lidocaine to provide a multifaceted approach to rectal and anal discomfort. Bisacodyl acts as a stimulant laxative, promoting bowel movements and helping alleviate constipation, which can contribute to anal fissures or hemorrhoids. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, helps reduce inflammation and swelling in the affected area, thereby relieving pain and discomfort. Lidocaine serves as a local anesthetic, numbing the affected region, which provides immediate relief from pain and itching. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to treat both the symptoms and underlying issues associated with various rectal and anal conditions.
