policresulen + cinchocaine hydrochloride

Policresulen + cinchocaine hydrochloride is a fixed-dose combination topical therapy primarily used in proctology for the treatment of hemorrhoids and other anorectal conditions. Policresulen is a polycondensation product of metacresolsulfonic acid and formaldehyde that acts as a selective hemostatic and antiseptic agent; it works by coagulating necrotic or pathologically altered tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact, thereby promoting wound healing and preventing infection. Cinchocaine hydrochloride (also known as dibucaine) is a potent, long-acting local anesthetic of the amide type that provides symptomatic relief from pain and itching by blocking the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses through the inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels. The combination is typically available as an ointment or suppository for rectal or perianal application.
