Description

Perinal Spray is a prescription-only local anaesthetic treatment used to relieve discomfort associated with haemorrhoids, anal fissures, or inflammation around the anal area. It is formulated for easy application and fast relief, making it a convenient option for managing painful or itchy rectal conditions in adults.

How It Works
The active ingredient in Perinal Spray is lidocaine, a well-established local anaesthetic that temporarily numbs the nerve endings in the skin. This action blocks pain signals from the affected area, easing soreness, itching, and irritation. Delivered as a fine mist, the spray provides direct contact with the skin for rapid absorption and relief.

Why Choose Perinal Spray
Perinal Spray is fast-acting and easy to apply, offering targeted relief without the need for ointment or suppository insertion. The nozzle allows for hygienic administration, reducing the risk of contamination and making it suitable for both external and internal haemorrhoids when used correctly. Its liquid formulation spreads evenly, covering sensitive skin gently and effectively. It is particularly helpful during flare-ups or post-surgical recovery.

Important Note
Perinal Spray should not be used on broken, infected, or severely inflamed skin unless directed by a doctor. Overuse may lead to sensitisation or allergic reactions. Patients should consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist for more than seven days or worsen over time. Proper hygiene is essential during use, and the applicator should be cleaned after each application.
