Product introduction

Pilo-Smooth Cream is used in the treatment of piles. It relieves redness, itching, swelling, irritation, and promotes healing of piles. It works by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain to decrease the sensation of pain.

Pilo-Smooth Cream is for external use only. Before using the medicine check the label for directions of use and apply gently on the clean and dry affected area. You should always wash your hands after applying it.

Uses of Pilo-Smooth Cream

Benefits of Pilo-Smooth Cream

In Treatment of Piles

Pilo-Smooth 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 Pilo-Smooth 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.

Side effects of Pilo-Smooth Cream

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Pilo-Smooth

  • Application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness)

How to use Pilo-Smooth Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Pilo-Smooth Cream works

Pilo-Smooth 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.
