Uniroid HC

Description

Uniroid HC is a medication that combines hydrocortisone and cinchocaine to treat hemorrhoids. Hydrocortisone reduces inflammation and itching, while cinchocaine acts as a local anesthetic to relieve pain and discomfort. This combination helps alleviate symptoms associated with hemorrhoids, such as swelling, itching, and soreness. Uniroid HC is suitable for individuals experiencing hemorrhoids and seeking relief from these uncomfortable symptoms.
