Emoflon rectal ointment/suppository is intended for the treatment of symptoms associated with hemorrhoidal disease and its complications (eg, eczema, anal fissure). It covers and protects the epidermis, and provides care to inflamed, itchy skin, helping to promote skin regeneration. It diminishes the drying out of the skin, which helps in wound healing, and reduces the risk of fissure and injury caused by defecation.
