Composition

Beclomethasone Dipropionate (0.025 %) + Lidocaine / Lignocaine (2.5 %) + Phenylephrine (0.1 %)

Pilo GO Cream is primarily used to manage haemorrhoids, also known as piles. This cream is a combination medicine consisting of corticosteroids, local anaesthetics, and vasoconstrictors.

In addition to its primary use in alleviating the symptoms of haemorrhoids, this cream may be used for relieving discomfort associated with anal fissures and proctitis, which is inflammation of the rectum. It can also be used before and after a hemorrhoidectomy procedure to manage pain and discomfort.

You should apply this cream as your doctor instructed. Before starting with this cream, it is crucial to inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or if you are taking any other medicines. If you observe any side effects while using this cream, notify your doctor immediately. Remember to continue using it for as long as your doctor recommends for optimal results.

Pilo GO Cream is used to treat external and internal piles (hemorrhoids), anal fissures (small tears in the anus), and proctitis (inflammation of the rectum lining). It also provides relief from symptoms before and after hemorrhoid surgery.

Directions for Use of Pilo Go Cream 20gm

Here's how you should use Pilo GO Cream:

Ensure that the skin around your anal area is clean and dry before application.
Apply a thin layer of Pilo GO Cream on the affected area twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Thoroughly wash your hands before and after using this cream.
If symptoms persist or worsen, be sure to consult your doctor.

Pilo GO Cream is applied topically.

Pilo GO Cream may have the following side effects:

Mild burning, stinging, or itching at the application site
Skin dryness or irritation
Allergic reactions
Skin thinning
Skin discolouration

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, and they resolve when you discontinue using Pilo GO Cream. However, if you experience severe side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Skin dryness or irritation: You can apply Pilo GO Cream after a bath when your skin is still moist. This helps lock in moisture.
Mild burning, stinging, or itching at the application site: Try applying Pilo GO Cream at night before bed to limit exposure to external irritants during the day.

Pilo GO Cream is composed of three active ingredients that work in tandem to alleviate the discomfort caused by haemorrhoids:

Beclomethasone Dipropionate (0.025%): This potent corticosteroid works by blocking the production of inflammation-causing substances in your body, thereby reducing swelling and itching in the affected area.
Lidocaine/Lignocaine (2.5%): This fast-acting local anaesthetic numbs the area where it's applied by blocking the nerve signals responsible for transmitting pain sensations.
Phenylephrine (0.1%): As an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist, phenylephrine causes the narrowing of blood vessels (vasoconstriction) which helps reduce swelling and bleeding in the hemorrhoidal tissue.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Pilo GO Cream if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it's a good idea to discuss with your doctor before starting Pilo GO Cream.

Alcohol

Interactions of Pilo GO Cream with alcohol are rare as it is a topical product. However, if you have any concerns, it's always wise to consult your doctor.

Liver

Liver-related cautions are generally minimal for Pilo GO Cream , as it is applied topically. If you have liver health issues, it may be beneficial to speak with your doctor before starting this medication.

Kidney

Similar to liver health precautions, kidney-related concerns are typically minimal with topical products like Pilo GO Cream . If you have any kidney problems, consulting your doctor before use is advised.

Using Machines & Driving

Using machines or driving while using Pilo GO Cream should not pose any issues as the medicine is applied externally and doesn't affect your alertness or concentration.

Allergy

If you know you're allergic to beclomethasone dipropionate, lidocaine/lignocaine, phenylephrine or any other ingredient in Pilo GO Cream, do not use this medicine.

Children

Consult your doctor before applying Pilo GO Cream to children. They will consider factors such as the child's age and overall health status, before prescribing the medicine.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Pilo GO Cream under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to side effects. This is especially important if the patient has liver or kidney health issues. Your doctor will guide you based on your individual health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Pilo GO Cream interacts with the Following Medicines:

Topical corticosteroids: Mixing Pilo GO Cream with other topical corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone or clobetasol, could potentiate skin-thinning side effects.
Local anaesthetics: Using other local anaesthetics such as prilocaine, might increase the risk of systemic toxicity due to lidocaine in Pilo GO Cream.
Vasoconstrictors: Simultaneous use of vasoconstrictors like ephedrine or pseudoephedrine could increase the systemic absorption of phenylephrine in Pilo GO Cream.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known food interactions with Pilo GO Cream. It is safe to eat your regular diet while using this cream.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Pilo GO Cream interacts with the following diseases:

Hypersensitivity: If you have allergic reactions to any of the ingredients in Pilo GO Cream, it could exacerbate your symptoms.
Cardiovascular disease: As phenylephrine can constrict blood vessels, you should use Pilo GO Cream cautiously if you have heart problems.
Liver disease: If you have liver disease, using this cream might affect how your body processes beclomethasone and lidocaine.
Kidney disease: The metabolism of phenylephrine and lidocaine might be affected if you're suffering from kidney disease.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the daily dose of Pilo GO Cream, considering factors like the severity of your condition and how you respond to the medicine. It's crucial to follow this prescribed dosage and not exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you apply more Pilo GO Cream than advised, you might experience mild burning, stinging, or itching at the application site. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Pilo GO Cream as instructed, do it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Remember, never increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Here are the storage instruction for Pilo GO Cream:

Keep Pilo GO Cream in a cool, dry place with temperatures below 25°C. Don't freeze it.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat.
Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use.
Keep Pilo GO Cream out of reach of children.
Always check the expiry date and use before it

Dietary and lifestyle guidance while using Pilo GO Cream is as follows:

Increase your dietary fibre intake: Eating foods rich in fibre like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help soften stools, reducing straining during bowel movements, which can worsen haemorrhoids.
Exercise regularly: Physical activity, mainly walking, can stimulate bowel movements and help prevent constipation, thereby managing the conditions for which Pilo GO Cream is used.
