Pregnancy & lactation.
Use In Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy: During pregnancy, policresulen must only be used when strictly indicated, with due assessment of the risks to the mother and child. Studies in animals have not shown any evidence of malformations. No studies are available on the risk of use during human pregnancy.
Lactation: It is not known whether the active ingredient passes into milk.
Lactation: It is not known whether the active ingredient passes into milk.
Adverse Reactions
Mild local discomfort such as burning sensation or itching associated with the therapeutic mechanism of preparation may sometimes be noted at the beginning of treatment, usually subsiding rapidly. Discontinuation of medication, therefore, is generally not required.
Very Rare: Anaphylactic reactions, including skin reactions (angioneurotic oedema, laryngeal oedema, urticaria and others) and generalized reactions up to anaphylactic shock.

Action
Antihemorrhoidal.
Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Actions: Policresulen + Cinchocaine HCl (Faktu) has multiple actions predominantly attributable to policresulen. It arrests to bleeding by coagulating blood protein and inducing the muscle fibers of small blood vessels to contract. The coagulating properties and the acid pH brings out the antimicrobial action against Escherichia coli, staphylococci and streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, candida and other bacteria. Thus, the wound is protected against infection. In vitro periodic investigations on the different pathogens have revealed no change in sensitivity. The coagulation of necrotic and pathologically altered tissues cleans the wound and promotes wound healing. Cinchocaine has local anesthetic action which relieves pain and itching.
Pharmacokinetics: General pharmacokinetics: After oral administration of policresulen about 10% of the dose was absorbed in animal experiments. The absorption after local intravaginal or intrarectal application was slightly less with 6-8%. Absorbed policresulen constituents were eliminated with a half-life between 4 and 5 hours. No biotransformation was detected. Intravenously administered policresulen was eliminated mainly via urine, and less than 10% were excreted through feces, whereas orally or rectally administered drug was excreted mainly in the feces due to its low absorption, and less than 10% were eliminated via urine.
After dermal application of cinchocaine, 15.3% of the applied dose was absorbed by rats within 12 h. The terminal elimination half-life of the unchanged drug was 12 min after intraperitoneal administration in rats. The drug is largely metabolised by different species and excreted in urine and bile in nearly equal amounts by rats. Because of these findings and based on long-term human experience only minor amounts are expected to be absorbed after local administration on skin and mucous membranes.
