INTRODUCTION:

n

Hadensa ointment is used for the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles), anal fissures or anal fistula. It also relieves itching and pain and reduces bleeding or swelling in the affected area. It contains lignocaine, menthol and thymol as key ingredients which effectively relieves pain and imparts a cooling sensation. Lignocaine belongs to the group of medicines called local anesthetic agent that numbs the sensations of tissues. It blocks the generation and conduction of nerve impulse by increasing the threshold for electrical excitation in the nerve, by slowing propagation of the nerve impulse, and by reducing the rate of risk of action potential.

nMenthol is known as a counterirritant which works by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. This feeling on the skin distract you from feeling the aches/pains deeper in your muscles and joints. Thymol is an anesthetic and antiseptic which can relieve from pain and arrest the growth of unwanted microorganisms. Clean the affected area before use, if you are applying this medication to other mucous membranes or the skin and apply with clean hands. Apply the ointment with a sterile gauze pad for broken or burned skin. Wash your hands after each application. Before applying this medicine, talk to your doctor, if you have epilepsy, heart problems, liver problems, kidney problems or open wounds or infection where the ointment will be used.
