PHARMACOLOGY

Calcium Dobesilate acts on the capillary walls by regulating their impaired physiological functions- i.e. increased permeability and decreased resistance and on different signs of inflammation. It also has an antithrombotic activity. Lidocaine hydrochloride, a local anesthetic, contributes to relieve pain. Dexamethasone Acetate, a Corticosteroid for topical use, possesses anti-inflammatory and antipruritic actions.

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION

2-3 times daily. Apply in the morning and bedtime and if possible after defecation. If the ointment is preferred, use the applicator by screwing it to the tube. Insert the applicator as deep as possible in the anus then press the tube gently while withdrawing it. In this case, the tube is sufficient for 8 applications. In case of external hemorrhoids or anal pruritus, apply a thin layer of the ointment several times a day. The duration of the treatment is generally of some days. The doctor must be informed if, after 1 to 2 weeks of treatment, the symptomatology has not improved or has worsened.Calcium Dobesilate, Lidocaine HCI & Dexamethasone Acetate Ointment should be applied 2-3 times daily preferably in the morning and at bedtime, if possible apply after defecation.

PREGNANCY & LACTATION

Pregnancy category C. Studies in pregnant women or animals are not available and in humans, it is not known whether Calcium Dobesilate crosses the placental barrier. On the other hand, after topical administration, Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Dexamethasone Acetate are resorbed in variable quantities and can have systemic effects. Moreover, both substances cross the placental barrier. In these conditions, this rectal ointment should be administered during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. After oral administration, Calcium Dobesilate is excreted in the maternal milk in low amounts but it is not known whether this is the case with local use. After topical administration, Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Dexamethasone Acetate are excreted in the maternal milk. As a precaution, it should be decided between discontinuating the treatment or the breast-feeding.
