Pharmacology

Cinchocaine is a local anesthetic that alleviates severe pain and relaxes sphincter spasm. Hydrocortisone provides anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic effects, reducing itching and inflammation. Neomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, helps eliminate infections in the anorectal area. Esculin enhances skin vasculature, aiding in the management of cellulitis.
