Pharmacology

Cinchocaine is a local anesthetic which relieves severe pain and relaxes sphincteric spasm. Hydrocortisone acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic agent and thereby eliminates itching and inflammation. Neomycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which eradicates most infections which may already be present or arise in lesions of the anorectal area. Esculin improves skin vasculature and is effective in management of cellulitis.

Like most of the steroids under certain circumstances hydrocortisone may be absorbed in sufficient amount to produce systemic effects. So, long term use should be avoided. Adrenal suppression may occur even without occlusion. When used for prolonged period striae may occur. Skin sensitisation may occur due to Neomycin. Absorption of the antibiotic from wound or inflamed skin may occur and this may affect the hearing irreversibly. Hence this preparation should not be given to extensively damaged skin.
