Spear Ointment 30 gm is a skin ointment that has anaesthetic and pain-numbing properties. It contains Cinchocaine hydrochloride and policresulen. Spear Ointment 30 gm is used to relieve the pain, discomfort and itchiness associated with anal fissure and haemorrhoids (piles). Cinchocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic that blocks the transmission of impulses across nerves, thereby easing the sensation of pain. It inactivates the sodium channels in the nerve cell membrane, thereby preventing the sodium-induced activation of the cell and precluding any transmission of nerve impulses that produce the sensation of pain. Policresulen functions as an antiseptic and haemostatic agent by virtue of its bacteria and fungus-killing nature and helps arrest bleeding. Spear Ointment 30 gm is hence used to treat anal fissures and haemorrhoids.
