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

Benefits of Caldob Rectal Cream

In Treatment of Piles

Caldob 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 Caldob 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.

How to use Caldob Rectal Cream

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

How Caldob Rectal Cream works

Caldob 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.
