How it works
Ruticool Cream is a combination of Troxerutin, Calcium Dobesilate, Zinc oxide, Phenylephrine, Lidocaine, and Hydrocortisone.
Troxerutin and Calcium Dobesilate protect the blood vessels and promote healing.
Zinc Oxide acts as an antiseptic and prevents the growth of infection-causing germs.
Phenylephrine acts on the blood vessels and helps in relieving itching and irritation.
Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals and provides immediate and prolonged relief from pain.
Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid. It works by decreasing the formation of certain chemical substances in your body that are responsible for causing redness, swelling, and itching of the affected part of your skin.
