It helps to numb the area and reduces the discomfort associated with the insertion of medical instruments such as needles or catheters. It also helps to reduce the pain and inflammation in conditions such as heamorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures.
Oculan Cream is applied at the start of a medical procedure and takes 3-5 minutes for the numbing effect to occur.
If Oculan Cream is used under the supervision of a doctor or as directed by your doctor, it is generally safe to use.
