How It Works
Xyloproct is a topical treatment formulated to manage pain, inflammation, and discomfort caused by haemorrhoids and other anal region conditions. It contains two active ingredients: lidocaine (5%), a local anaesthetic, and hydrocortisone (0.275%), a mild corticosteroid.
Lidocaine works by blocking nerve signals in the area where it is applied, providing fast-acting relief from burning, pain, or itching. Hydrocortisone helps reduce swelling, redness, and irritation by suppressing the body’s inflammatory response. The combination provides targeted symptom control for acute and chronic flare-ups.
Why Choose Xyloproct 5% / 0.275% Ointment
Xyloproct is often prescribed for conditions where both pain relief and anti-inflammatory action are needed simultaneously. It is commonly used for piles, anal fissures, and post-surgical rectal discomfort. The ointment base ensures prolonged skin contact and allows for deeper penetration into the affected tissues.
Benefits of Xyloproct include:
Rapid localised pain relief
Anti-inflammatory effect for swelling and redness
Suitable for internal and external use
Convenient topical application
Often prescribed post-operatively for anorectal procedures
It may also assist in easing discomfort during bowel movements when used consistently as directed.
Important Note
This product is for rectal use only and should be applied as prescribed. Wash hands before and after use. If symptoms worsen or persist, consult your doctor. Prolonged use may lead to thinning of the skin due to the corticosteroid component. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage or use it for more than seven consecutive days without medical advice. Avoid contact with eyes and do not apply to broken or infected skin unless advised.
