Introduction
INTRODUCTION ABOUT P COOL CREAMP COOL CREAM contains Calamine, Lignocaine(lidocaine), and Phenylephrine which belong to the group of medicines called antipruritic, anaesthetics, and sympathomimetic agents. P COOL CREAM is used in adults to relieve pain and bleeding associated with piles, anal fissures, and haemorrhoids. Piles (haemorrhoids) are tissue growth in and around the anus due to the enlargement of veins in the lower anus or rectum, which leads to discomfort such as pain, itching, blood in the stool, discomfort when pooping, etc. An anal fissure is a tear or cracks in the lining of the anus or anal canal with symptoms of severe pain while pooping, blood in the poop, etc. P COOL CREAM is not recommended for use in areas of trauma (injury to the mucosa due to chemical, physical, or thermal injury) or patients with hypersensitivity to the ingredients. Before using P COOL CREAM, inform your doctor if you have any heart diseases, increased blood pressure, diabetes, an enlarged prostate gland, thyroid problems, etc. P COOL CREAM should be used with caution in patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, elderly, or have children.

OF P COOL CREAMIt is used in adults to relieve pain and bleeding associated with: piles (tissue growth in and around the anus with discomfort, pain, blood in stool, itching etc) anal fissures (tear or crack in rectum or anus with blood in the mucus, pain during and after pooping) haemorrhoids
How It Works
P COOL CREAM contains calamine, lignocaine (lidocaine), and phenylephrine. Calamine relieves itching and soothes the skin. When applied to the skin, the aqueous component of calamine lotion evaporates. The heat required for evaporation is taken from the body, which gives a cooling effect at the site of application. Calamine has antibacterial properties, which help manage infections. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks swollen blood vessels. Enlarged blood vessels result in piles, so phenylephrine helps manage the symptoms of burning, itching, and swelling associated with piles. Lidocaine blocks the pain alerts from the nerves to the brain, thereby decreasing the feeling of pain.
