About Policresulen
Policresulen is a topical haemostatic and antiseptic. It is indicated for common anal disorders, such as hemorrhoids, and for gynecological infections. In some countries it is marketed under the trade name Albothyl or Polilen (Taiwan) or Faktu (combination with Cinchocaine).
Policresulen is often used for gynecological infections. In some countries, it is also used to treat canker sore. Although there is an immense pain followed by the application on canker sore, it is considered as a very effective treatment.
