The hydroalcoholic extracts of dried ligulate florets of Calendula officinalis
L., dried leaves of Plantago major L., and dried aerial parts of Vinca major L. were
prepared and used as the main active ingredients of two types of anti-anorectal
disease ointments and suppositories. Benzocaine was used in one of the
formulations, while a mixture of belladonna dry extract and ephedrine sulfate was
used in the other. The effects of both prepared formulations were investigated in
patients suffering from anorectal diseases, using relevant placebos for
comparison.
The results indicated that the prepared drugs were significantly effective in the
treatment of anorectal diseases. Formulations containing benzocaine proved to be
more effective in patients suffering from hemorrhoids, while formulations containing
belladonna dry extract and ephedrine sulfate were more effective in anal
fissure and proctitis.
