Benefits
In piles
Osil Cream helps reduce pain associated with piles (hemorrhoids) by producing a feeling of numbness at the site of application. It gives relief from swelling, itching and irritation caused due to piles. It also reduces pain while passing of stool. Apply Osil Cream 2-3 times a day after cleaning and drying the affected area properly. Consult your doctor if you do not see any improvement even after a week. Make sure to avoid spicy, oil-rich food and drink plenty of water and a fiber rich diet for a speedy recovery as well as to prevent piles in future.
How it works
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.
