Osil Cream is a combination of four medicines: Allantoin, Calcium Dobesilate, Hydrocortisone, and Lidocaine/Lignocaine. Allantoin is a skin protectant that works like a moisturizer to soften skin. 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. Lidocaine/Lignocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing the sensation of pain.

Osil Cream is for administration into the back passage (rectum). It must not be taken by mouth. Do not use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor as that can increase the chances of side effects. Use the applicator provided to insert a measured dose of cream into your back passage. Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Inform your doctor if you get any signs of infection during treatment with this medicine.
