About this material
Policresulen is a strongly acidic topical agent. Published reports describe local haemorrhoid treatment, where it is reported to coagulate damaged tissue and to have antiseptic and bleeding-stopping effects. A separate study looked at it for overgrown tissue around drainage tubes. Those reports are not an approval of this material.
Common uses
- Local haemorrhoid treatments studied with a local anaesthetic
