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.

For deep application nozzle should be attached to the tube and inserted to full extent and should be squeezed gently from the lower end while withdrawing.

Side effects which have been reported for individual constituents may occur and appropriate precautions should be taken when using this preparation.

Use in pregnancy: The safe use of topical corticosteroids during pregnancy has not been fully established.

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.
