Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Medicinal Benefits

Hadensa Ointment is a combination of four drugs: Lanolin, Lignocaine, Menthol, and Thymol. Hadensa Ointment relieves itching and pain and reduces bleeding and swelling associated with piles, anal fissures, and anal fistula. Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic that blocks the pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby decreasing the sensation of pain. Menthol provides a cooling sensation, thus helping relieve pain. Lanolin is a moisturising agent that prevents irritation and keeps the skin moist, thereby allowing easy passage of stool. Thymol is an anti-infective agent that works by killing infection-causing micro-organisms. Thereby, Hadensa Ointment provides relief from pain and discomfort due to piles, anal fissures, and anal fistula.
