general information
Nigepan is a Russian medicine manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Nizhpharm. Available in the form of suppositories for rectal use. This drug is prescribed for the complex treatment of anal fissures and hemorrhoids. In addition, it can be used as a preventative measure.
Specialists often recommend Nigepan suppositories to people who, after defecation, observe blood in the stool, they experience discomfort in the anus, as well as with constant constipation and a tendency to form blood clots. The tool can be prescribed for pathologies of various severity, regardless of their duration, form of the course and severity of the clinical picture.
Structure
According to the instructions for use, Nigepan suppositories are a combination medicine containing several active ingredients. Each of them performs certain functions, contributing to the achievement of the desired result in the shortest possible time.
- Heparin has several beneficial effects, but its main property is to lower blood viscosity and prevent the formation of blood clots. Due to this, the blood flow is stabilized, and the circulation of biological fluids in microvessels is also enhanced. As a result, the pain syndrome is eliminated, the inflammatory process is blocked.
- Benzocaine plays the role of a local anesthetic. Relieves pain for 20 minutes after applying the Nigepan suppository. In combination with heparain, it improves the general condition of the patient in just 1 day.
- Auxiliary ingredients accelerate the absorption process of the main active substances, as well as facilitate the introduction of suppositories into the rectum.
The active components of the drug hardly penetrate into the systemic circulation, being absorbed by the tissues of the organs. It is due to this that the risk of developing side effects is reduced, but the effectiveness of the drug at the advanced stages of hemorrhoids is also reduced. In order for the drug to be more effective, it is desirable to combine it with tablets.
