Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy, compliance and safety of Ginko biloba--Troxerutin-Heptaminol Hce in the treatment of patients with acute hemorrhoidal attacks in Thailand.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: In a prospective clinical study on hospital outpatients, the authors studied the effect of Ginko biloba--Troxerutin-Heptaminol Hce for a week in adults (18-70 years old) with acute hemorrhoidal attacks.
RESULT: Twenty-two patients, with a mean age of 41.7 years were included in the study. The male to female ratio was 1 : 1.2. Most patients (77%) had grade 1 and 2 hemorrhoids with an average duration of attacks of 3 days. On intention to treat analysis, bleeding, pain, tenesmus and discharge were significantly improved. Treatment was well accepted and safe.
