Dong-A Pharmaceutical Launches Topical Hemorrhoid Ointment 'Chiomax'

Dong-A Pharmaceutical's topical hemorrhoid treatment ointment 'Chiomax'

[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Dong-A Pharmaceutical announced on the 1st that it has launched the topical hemorrhoid treatment ointment ‘Chiomax’.

Chiomax ointment is a topical hemorrhoid treatment that is effective for the temporary relief of pain, itching, swelling, and bleeding caused by anal fissures and hemorrhoids. It contains lidocaine, which anesthetizes the hemorrhoid area to relieve pain; allantoin, which is effective for wound healing; tocopheryl acetate, which helps blood circulation; dl-methyl ephedrine hydrochloride, which constricts blood vessels to suppress swelling and bleeding in the hemorrhoid area; and prednisolone acetate, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-itch effects.

In particular, additives were included to increase the skin permeability of lidocaine, the main pain-relieving ingredient, allowing for rapid pain relief and prolonged pain relief duration. The research paper on this study was also published in an SCI-level international academic journal.

Chiomax ointment is an over-the-counter drug available at pharmacies. For topical application, apply directly to the affected area up to three times a day. For insertion, attach the applicator to the tube and insert it rectally up to three times a day.

Lee Sang-jun, Chiomax brand manager, said, “Chiomax ointment has added differentiation and excellence through research on local anesthetic ingredients,” and added, “We hope that Chiomax ointment, which quickly relieves hemorrhoid pain and prolongs pain relief duration compared to existing topical hemorrhoid treatments, along with the oral hemorrhoid treatment Chiomax tablets, will free patients from the suffering caused by hemorrhoids.”
