Medicinal Benefits

Escot MS Cream is a combination of three drugs, namely: Lidocaine, Metronidazole, and Sucralfate. Lidocaine belongs to the class of local anesthetics that decreases pain sensation by preventing the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain. Metronidazole belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by damaging the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and protozoa and kills them. Thereby prevents infection in the anal region. Sucralfate belongs to the class of protectants that works by forming a protective layer over the affected area of skin and prevents pain, irritation, or burning sensation in the anus. Thereby, promotes the healing of fissures and the formation of new healthy skin.
