Introduction
Smuth Cream is a topical medication designed to alleviate the symptoms of piles, including pain, swelling, itching, and discomfort during bowel movements. 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. Calcium Dobesilate is a vasoprotective agent that reduces blood vessel leakage and fragility, improving blood flow and reducing inflammation. Hydrocortisone, a steroid, helps to decrease 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.
