Feature 2
Effective formulation for hemorrhoids
Formulation that works directly on the affected area, rapidly melting at body temperature
A hard fat oily base is used, which melts rapidly at body temperature, maximizing the effectiveness of the medicine.
The hard fat oily base is little irritant, making it easy to insert, protecting the affected area ,and helping smooth bowel movements.
Three points of BORRAGINOL
All types of hemorrhoid suppositories naturally fit inside the rectal ampulla when inserted in the anus. However, because internal hemorrhoids and anal fissure , etc., tend to occur in the anus slightly below the rectal ampulla, the suppository must be melted and spread after insertion.
As shown in the illustration above, BORRAGINOL® M SUPPOSITORIES:
- 1. Fit inside the rectal ampulla
- 2. Quickly begin to melt at rectal temperature (approximately 37℃)
- 3. Spread throughout the rectum, directly delivering the medicine to the affected area
This formulation is designed to work quickly and effectively.
Note: The suppository does not stop at the affected area.
The anus, where hemorrhoids occur, is surrounded by a highly developed two-layered inner and outer sphincter muscles. Because these muscles maintain the appropriate tension to keep the anus closed at all times, they prevent suppositories from stopping directly at the affected area where the hemorrhoids have formed. The suppository either stops inside the rectal ampulla, or will be pushed out if not inserted far enough.
