Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. Do not use your finger to apply this medicine.

In Piles

Ruticool Cream helps reduce pain associated with piles (hemorrhoids) by producing a feeling of numbness at the site of application.

How to use Ruticool Rectal Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor.

How Ruticool Rectal Cream works

Ruticool Cream is a combination of five medicines: Lidocaine, Hydrocortisone, Phenylephrine, Zinc Oxide, and Calcium Dobesilate. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing the sensation of pain. Hydrocortisone is a steroid which reduces redness, itching, and swelling due to piles/hemorrhoids. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks the swollen blood vessels to further relieve itching and irritation caused by piles/hemorrhoids. Zinc Oxide has astringent and antiseptic action. 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/hemorrhoids and promoting healing.

Quick tips

  • Ruticool Cream is prescribed for the treatment of piles.
     
  • Apart from using Ruticool Cream, you can indulge in warm baths. It may help soothe the area and thus may ease the pain.
  • Don't ignore the feeling of needing to pass stools. Some people suppress this feeling and put off going to the toilet until later. This may result in bigger and harder stools forming that are more difficult to pass later.
  • Do not take any oral laxative along with Ruticool Cream without consulting your doctor.
  • Sometimes certain medicines like iron tablets, antibiotics might cause constipation. Inform your doctor if you are taking any of them.
  • A fiber-rich diet (wholegrain bread and cereals, fruit and green leafy vegetables) with six to eight full glasses of water each day and daily exercise are important in maintaining healthy bowel function.
