ANOMEX SUPPOSITORIES 5S

Description

Anomex 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 anaesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing pain sensation. Allantoin is a skin protectant that moisturises and softens the skin.

How to administer Anomex suppositories:
1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Lie on your side with your lower leg straightened out and your upper leg bent forward toward your stomach.
