Ma Ying Long Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment

Ma Ying Long Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment is an over-the-counter topical medication used primarily for the temporary relief of local itching, burning, and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids. It is also used to protect inflamed anorectal tissue and facilitate healing after anal surgery or in cases of anal fissures. The ointment combines ingredients from both Western and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including petrolatum (protectant), calamine (astringent), zinc oxide (astringent/protectant), lanolin (emollient/protectant), as well as TCM components such as artificial musk (muscone), artificial bezoar, amber, borneol, borax, pearl powder, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The mechanism of action includes anti-inflammatory effects via reduction of local inflammation and edema; astringency to shrink tissues; antibacterial activity; promotion of blood circulation; analgesic effects through cooling/soothing agents like borneol and menthol derivatives; formation of a protective barrier over affected tissue to reduce irritation during bowel movements[3][5][8][10].
