Introduction
Caldob Cream is a topical medication designed to treat piles (hemorrhoids). It combines four active ingredients: Lidocaine/Lignocaine, Calcium Dobesilate, Hydrocortisone, and Zinc. Lidocaine/Lignocaine acts as a local anesthetic, blocking pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby reducing pain sensation. Calcium Dobesilate is a vasoprotective agent that strengthens blood vessel walls, reduces leakage, and improves blood flow, thus alleviating inflammation and promoting healing. Hydrocortisone, a steroid, helps reduce redness, itching, and swelling. Zinc provides astringent and antiseptic properties. While effective, it is important to use this medication under medical supervision, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Directions for Use
