The Anodesyn range includes ointment and suppositories for the symptomatic relief of pain and irritation associated with haemorrhoids (piles). Anodesyn products contain a local anaesthetic (lignocaine) that helps to numb the pain and allantoin to aid the healing process. - Anodesyn ointment and Anodesyn suppositories contain lidocaine hydrochloride (previously known as lignocaine hydrochloride in the UK) and allantoin. - Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that works by temporarily blocking the pathway of pain messages along nerve fibres. This allows relief from pain where the medicine has been applied.
