Tronothane

Tronothane description. Rectal anesthetics (an-ess-THET-iks ) are used to relieve the pain and itching of hemorrhoids (piles) and other problems in the rectal area. However, if you have hemorrhoids that bleed, especially after a bowel movement, check with your doctor before using this medicine. Bleeding may mean that you have a condition that needs other treatment. These medicines are available without a prescription; however, your doctor may have special instructions on the proper use and dose for your medical problem.
