Buy Uniroid HC ointment for piles
Uniroid-HC preparations contain 2 active ingredients: hydrocortisone and cinchocaine, which is used to treat haemorrhoids. Hydrocortisone works to reduce inflammation, itching and torn skin around the anus. Cinchocaine is an anaesthetic used to relieve pain.
This treatment is available in two forms; ointment/cream or suppositories. The ointment is generally prescribed for external piles (however, it can be applied to internal piles with the included applicator).
Uniroid HC suppositories are typically prescribed to treat internal hemorrhoids (piles). However, at Ashcroft Pharmacy, we currently only supply the ointment form.
How does Uniroid-HC cream work?
Uniroid HC ointment works through its two main active ingredients: hydrocortisone (a corticosteroid) and cinchocaine (a local anesthetic).
Here's how each component contributes to the effectiveness of Uniroid ointment:
Hydrocortisone (Corticosteroid):
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Hydrocortisone has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce swelling and inflammation in the affected area.
- Immune System Regulation: As a corticosteroid, hydrocortisone can modulate the immune response, further contributing to the reduction of inflammation.
Cinchocaine (Local Anesthetic):
- Pain Relief: Cinchocaine is a local anesthetic that provides relief from pain by numbing the nerves in the application area.
- Itching and Discomfort: By blocking nerve signals, cinchocaine helps alleviate itching and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids.
Combined Effect:
The dual-action formula of these two active ingredients in Uniroid HC ointment aim to provide comprehensive relief from the symptoms of haemorrhoids. Hydrocortisone addresses the inflammation, while cinchocaine focuses on pain relief and reducing discomfort. This dual-action approach makes Uniroid HC effective in managing the symptoms of haemorrhoids.
