04How To Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor.
05How It Works
Anasure Cream is a combination of four medicines: Lidocaine / Lignocaine, Calcium Dobesilate, Hydrocortisone and Zinc. Lidocaine / Lignocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain, thereby decreasing the sensation of pain. Calcium Dobesilate is a vasoprotective medicine which works on the walls of the small blood vessels and reduces their leakage and fragility. It also improves blood flow by decreasing viscosity/thickness of blood, thereby relieving inflammation (redness and swelling) in piles/haemorrhoids and promoting healing. Hydrocortisone is a steroid which reduces redness, itching, and swelling due to piles/haemorrhoids. Zinc has astringent and antiseptic action.
06What If You Miss A Dose?
If you miss a dose of Anasure Cream, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.
07Benefits
In Treatment of Piles
Anasure Cream reduces discomfort, improves blood flow, decreases leakage as well as rupture of veins and prevents clotting of blood. This effectively relieves pain, swelling, irritation or itching caused due to piles. It also has antioxidant properties that promote healing in plies (hemorrhoids). Always use Anasure Cream as prescribed to get maximum benefit. Make sure to avoid spicy, oil-rich food and take plenty of fibers to aid in digestion and ensure speedy recovery.

Anasure Cream is prescribed for the treatment of piles.
Apart from using Anasure Cream, you can indulge in warm baths. It may help soothe the area and thus may ease the pain.
Don’t ignore the feeling of needing to pass stools. Some people suppress this feeling and put off going to the toilet until later. This may result in bigger and harder stools forming that are more difficult to pass later.
Do not take any oral laxative along with Anasure Cream without consulting your doctor.
Sometimes certain medicines like iron tablets, antibiotics might cause constipation. Inform your doctor if you are taking any of them.
A fiber-rich diet (wholegrain bread and cereals, fruit and green leafy vegetables) with six to eight full glasses of water each day and daily exercise are important in maintaining healthy bowel function.
