Hypersensitivity towards the components of this preparation.

Calcium Dobesilate acts on the capillary walls by regulating their impaired physiological functions- i.e. increased permeability and decreased resistance and on different signs of inflammation. It also has an antithrombotic activity. Lidocaine hydrochloride, a local anesthetic, contributes to relieve pain. Dexamethasone Acetate, a Corticosteroid for topical use, possesses anti-inflammatory and antipruritic actions.

Very rare cases have been reported: Modifications of the intestinal transit, temporary burning sensation and local pain. Hypersensitivity reactions together with skin reactions and/or fever can occur. These reactions can be of allergic origin and in this case, the treatment must be discontinued.

No overdosage information found yet.

Pregnancy category C. Studies in pregnant women or animals are not available and in humans, it is not known whether Calcium Dobesilate crosses the placental barrier. On the other hand, after topical administration, Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Dexamethasone Acetate are resorbed in variable quantities and can have systemic effects. Moreover, both substances cross the placental barrier. In these conditions, this rectal ointment should be administered during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. After oral administration, Calcium Dobesilate is excreted in the maternal milk in low amounts but it is not known whether this is the case with local use. After topical administration, Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Dexamethasone Acetate are excreted in the maternal milk. As a precaution, it should be decided between discontinuating the treatment or the breast-feeding.

In case of renal insufficiency, this rectal ointment should not be used during longer periods. Avoid long-lasting treatments.
