Ruscogenin + tetracaine hydrochloride

What it is and what it is used for
Ruscoroid contains two active ingredients: ruscogenin, which reduces inflammation, protects blood vessels, and eliminates congestion, and tetracaine, which reduces pain.
Ruscoroid belongs to the class of medicines called "anti-haemorrhoidal" (against haemorrhoids and anal fissures) for topical use.

Ruscoroid is used to treat disorders associated with haemorrhoids, anal fissures, and inflammation of the rectum (proctitis) such as: itching, pain, and a feeling of heaviness.
Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after a short period of treatment.
