About Spear Ointment

Spear Ointment belongs to the group of anorectal preparations used to treat anal fissures and haemorrhoids (piles). An anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus. Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. 

Spear Ointment contains 'Cinchocaine hydrochloride and Policresulen'. Spear Ointment helps in alleviating pain and itching that occur as a result of inflammation. Spear Ointment works by numbing the area of application and reducing any unpleasant sensations in or around the anal region.

In some cases, Spear Ointment may cause certain very occasional side effects such as temporary stinging, skin rash and skin sagging. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects consistently.

Inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components of Spear Ointment. Avoid Spear Ointment in case of any systemic infection. Discuss your entire medical history with the doctor. Inform the doctor of any medications you are currently on. Consult your doctor before using Spear Ointment during pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding.

Uses of Spear Ointment

Spear Ointment is used in the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures. The detailed uses of Spear Ointment are as follows:

  • Haemorrhoids (piles): Spear Ointment helps by numbing the painful area, reducing swelling of the blood vessels, and relieving persistent itching in both internal and external haemorrhoids.
  • Anal fissures: It eases the sharp pain associated with small tears in the lining of the anus, making bowel movements more comfortable while promoting tissue repair.
  • Anal itching and inflammation: It relieves irritation, reduces redness, and calms inflamed tissues in the rectal region.

Key Benefits

Spear Ointment helps relieve the pain and discomfort associated with haemorrhoids and other anorectal conditions. 

The following are the benefits of this medication:

  • Provides rapid relief from pain by numbing the affected nerves.
  • Makes sitting, walking, and passing stools more comfortable.
  • Helps shrink swollen tissues and control minor bleeding.
  • Forms a protective layer over the affected area to reduce irritation during bowel movements.
  • Promotes faster healing of damaged rectal tissue.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication for effective results.

How Spear Ointment Works

Spear Ointment contains two active components that work together directly at the site of discomfort to provide dual-action relief. Cinchocaine hydrochloride: It acts as a local numbing agent that temporarily blocks the pain signals sent from the rectal nerves to the brain, providing swift relief from severe itching, burning, and soreness. Policresulen: It works as an astringent (a substance that tightens tissues and reduces secretions) and an antiseptic. It cases proteins in the damaged lining to clump together, which helps seal tiny wounds and stop minor bleeding. It also helps prevent the growth of bacteria, reducing the risk of infection and helping the skin heal more quickly.

  • Stay well hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, aiming for about 8-10 glasses unless your doctor advises otherwise, to support healthy digestion and easier bowel movements.
  • Avoid straining: Do not strain while passing stools, as this can increase pressure on haemorrhoids and slow the healing process.
