How the 4 active ingredients work

※Are you worried about using steroid external medicine?

The steroidal agents (prednisolone acetate) included in the BORRAGINOL® A series are a chemically synthesized version of adrenocortical hormones produced in the body.
They are classified as a weaker type of steroid external medicine, so there is no need for excessive concern if used properly.

Feature 2

Two-way types to meet your needs

This product can be infused for hemorrhoids inside the anus and applied to hemorrhoids outside or near the anus.

※When infusing the product, please make sure to use the entire amount at one time.

※If you apply the medicine to the affected areas, the remainder should not be used for infusion, as the dose will be insufficient for treatment.

For infusion into the anus For application on the affected area

POINT

Single-use and clean
 (in case of infusing into the anus)

The nozzle is inserted into the anus to infuse the entire amount at one time.
This means that you do not need to touch the affected areas or medicine directly, keeping the infusion hygienic.

Feature 3

A gentle fit for the anus and rectum

The tip (nozzle) of the applicator is round shape to avoid damage on the affected areas.
A smooth, little irritant, slippery oily base protects damaged lesion.
The nozzle is 6 mm in diameter and 26 mm in length, designed so that just the right amount of medicine can be smoothly pushed out to reach the affected areas.

POINT

A container designed for the Japanese body

The distance to the dentate line in the Japanese anal canal is about 18 mm. Anal fissure and external hemorrhoids are below the dentate line, however hemorrhoids inside the anus (internal hemorrhoids), which are the most common variety, are slightly above the dentate line, where the medicine must reach.
BORRAGINOL® A Ointment in Prefilled Disposable Applicator is designed to cope with the anal structure and conditions of the illness.

Feature 4
