Borraginol

Borraginol is a comprehensive line of hemorrhoid treatments developed and marketed by Amato Pharmaceutical Products. Originally developed at Kyoto University Hospital and launched in 1921, it is a leading over-the-counter (OTC) brand in Japan for the relief of pain, bleeding, swelling, and itching associated with hemorrhoids and anal fissures. The product line is divided into the **Borraginol A** series, which includes the corticosteroid prednisolone acetate for anti-inflammatory action, and the steroid-free **Borraginol M** series. Both series typically contain lidocaine (local anesthetic), allantoin (wound healing), and vitamin E acetate (blood circulation improvement). Additionally, the brand includes **Borraginol EP Oral**, an internal medication containing herbal extracts like Moutan cortex and Rosskastanien to address hemorrhoidal symptoms from within.
