Pharmacology (Source, Chemical and Physical Composition) Of Erian 5 mg+5 mg+10 mg+10 mg

The local anaesthetic Cinchocaine Hydrochloride prevents or relieves the severe pain sometimes encountered in strangulated haemorrhoids, fissures and perianal haematomata, whilst the corticosteroid (Hydrocortisone) acts as a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic agent and by so doing eliminates itching, inflammation and mucous discharge. The broad spectrum antibiotic, Framycetin Sulphate, will eradicate most infections which may already be present or arise in lesions of the anorectal area and Esculin has a skin protective action.

Side Effects of Erian 5 mg+5 mg+10 mg+10 mg

Long-term continuous treatment with topical corticosteroids should be avoided as far as possible as this may cause atrophic changes in the skin leading to thinning, loss of elasticity, dilatation of superficial blood vessels, telangiectasia and ecchymoses. These changes are particularly likely to occur when occlusive dressings are used. Systemic absorption of topically applied corticosteroids may occur, particularly under the following conditions: when large quantities are used or when application is made to wide areas of the body, or to damaged skin; when potent topical corticosteroids are used, and when the occlusive dressing technique is applied. Depression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis with consequent suppression of the adrenal gland may occur. These effects are most likely to be severe in children. Growth may be retarded and a Cushingoid state may be produced. Benign intracranial hypertension has been rarely reported.

Use During Pregnancy and Lactation

The safe use of topical corticosteroids during pregnancy has not been fully established. Therefore, during pregnancy, they should not be used unnecessarily on extended areas, in large amounts or for prolonged periods of time.

Precautions And Warnings for Erian 5 mg+5 mg+10 mg+10 mg
