Loxheal Cream is a combination of two medicines: Lidocaine/Lignocaine and Nifedipine which treats piles. Lidocaine/Lignocaine is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain which decreases pain sensation. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB). It works in anal fissure by blocking the action of calcium on blood vessels of anus. As a result, blood vessels are relaxed which allows fissure (tear) to heal and relieves pain.
