BECLOMETHASONE+PHENYLEPHRINE+LIGNOCAINE is used to treat pain and bleeding associated with anal fissures, external or internal haemorrhoids (piles), post-haemorrhoidectomy pain (pain after operation done to remove piles), and proctitis (inflammation of the rectum). An anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus. Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding.
BECLOMETHASONE+PHENYLEPHRINE+LIGNOCAINE is a combination of three drugs, namely: Beclomethasone (steroid), phenylephrine (sympathomimetic agent), and lignocaine (local anaesthetic). Beclomethasone blocks the chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Phenylephrine decreases swelling by shrinking the blood vessels in the affected area. Lignocaine blocks the pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby decreasing the sensation of pain.
