Study Notes

Astringents

  • Astringents decrease cell volume, creating a drier environment and reducing irritation.
  • They form a thin protective layer over the injured mucosal membrane to prevent further irritation.
  • Astringents are approved for the temporary relief of:
    • Itching symptoms
    • Irritation symptoms
    • Burning symptoms
    • Associated with anorectal disorders
  • Astringents promote coagulation of surface protein in anorectal skin cells to protect the underlying tissue.

Keratolytics

  • Keratolytics are agents that cause desquamation and debridement of epidermal surface cells.
  • They foster cell turnover and loosen surface cells, which exposes the underlying tissue at low concentrations.
  • Keratolytics reduce itching and inflammation when used in combination with other anorectal ingredients.
