How Pileum Suppository works

Pileum Suppository is a combination of four medicines: Hydrocortisone, Zinc Oxide, Lidocaine/Lignocaine and Allantoin. Hydrocortisone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Zinc Oxide has astringent and antiseptic action. Lidocaine/Lignocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing pain sensation. Allantoin is a skin protectant that moisturizes and softens the skin.

How To Use Pileum Suppository

Remove the wrapper from the suppository before inserting it. Keep lying down for about 15 minutes after insertion so that the suppository does not come out before it melts.
