Pharmacodynamics

Analgesic suppositories for hemorrhoids are applied topically and for the analgesic effect they have local anesthetics in their composition - substances that either reduce the sensitivity of painful afferent receptors of nerve fibers, or interfere with the transmission of painful nerve impulses.

Pharmacodynamics analgesic effect of suppositories Anestesol is based on the action of benzocaine, as well as menthol (whose content in one suppository is 25 times less than benzocaine). Benzocaine (synonymous with anesthesin) - ethyl ester of para-aminobenzoic acid - blocks the transmission of nerve signals by reducing the permeability of synaptic membranes for Na +. The localizing properties of menthol are less pronounced and are manifested by irritation of the nerve endings of the cold receptors of the rectal mucosa.

Anesthetic suppository for hemorrhoids Proctosan Neo, Proctogliolol and Doloproct have lidocaine in the form of hydrochloride (α-diethylamino-2,6-dimethylacetanilide hydrochloride), which acts in the same way as benzocaine. In addition, Proctozan Neo suppositories contain NPVS buffeksamak, which blocks cyclooxygenase, reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins and the activity of neurotransmitters.

Analgesic effect of suppositories Anuzol, Betiol, as well as Suppositories with bellies is due to the content of the extract of the medicinal plant Atropa belladonna L (belladonna). Atropine alkaloid reduces the sensitivity of the cholinergic receptors of nerve endings, which causes a temporary disabling of local parasympathetic innervation in the area of rectal suppository application.

The localizing properties of the belladonna extract in the suppositories of Betiol are enhanced by ihtamol (ichthyol), which also reduces pain in hemorrhoids.

Biotransformation of lidocaine occurs in the liver (by hydroxylation), metabolites (4-hydroxy-2,6-xylidine) are excreted in the urine.
