INTRODUCTION

Hilo Capsule is an ayurvedic medicine used to treat haemorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures (tears in the opening through which stool passes). It contains commiphora molmol (pura) oleoresin, gardenia gummifera (naadihingu) Gum resin, tagates erecta (genda) flowers and mesua ferrea (nagakesar) stem as active ingredients.

All the ingredients in the Hilo Capsule improve the health of the venous system (veins of the rectum), protect the veins from inflammation and inhibit the production of inflammation-causing chemicals. They also improve the lymphatic drainage of the anus and rectum. These properties reduce and prevent symptoms of piles such as anal discomfort, pain, redness, anal discharge, tenesmus (urge to pass stools), pruritus (severe itching) and bleeding.

Always take Hilo Capsule as directed by your doctor or take 2 capsules twice daily for 15 days. Do not exceed the daily recommended dosage. While taking this medicine, avoid taking spicy food and restrict your salt intake to improve treatment results. It is not recommended for use in pregnant and breastfeeding women. This medicine can be given to children less than 8 years of age but only after consulting the doctor.
