EUPHORBIA PROSTRATA EXTRACT belongs to the group of medicines called anorectal preparations used to treat haemorrhoids (piles). Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain and bleeding. EUPHORBIA PROSTRATA EXTRACT provides relief from pain, inflammation, discomfort and itching associated with piles.
EUPHORBIA PROSTRATA EXTRACT contains Euphorbia prostrata extract. EUPHORBIA PROSTRATA EXTRACT is effective in controlling bleeding from the engorged anal veins by enhancing the free flow of blood through the veins. It promotes healing and reduces inflammation by decreasing the viscosity of the blood and reducing leakage from the blood vessels.

Haemorrhoids
EUPHORBIA PROSTRATA EXTRACT contains Euphorbia prostrata extract. It is used primarily in the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles). Euphorbia prostrata is a plant extract. By action of its flavonoids, tannins and phenolic acid, euphorbia prostrata exerts an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory action that helps in shrinkage of engorged blood vessels and arresting bleeding, thereby relieving the pain, congestion and discomfort caused by haemorrhoids.
