The Indian arm of the Germany based world's largest Homoeopathy company, Dr. Willmar Schwabe Arzneimittel, has launched its revolutionary new product in India, Aesculus Pentarkan. This product provides permanent relief from hemorrhoids, commonly called Piles.

The disease is extremely painful and often becomes a social embarrassment as well. The only relatively permanent solution is surgical removal through techniques like Rubber Band Ligation or Sclerotherapy. Aesculus Pentarkan provides one of the reliable non-surgical treatments for this commonly occurring disease.

This homeopathic drug is launched in a 30 ml bottle priced at Rs 75, and is available at all homoeopathy pharmacies, select general chemist shops, Schwabe's Exclusive Showrooms and Mobile Clinics.

Said Avinash Mandale, Manager Marketing & Sales, Schwabe India Ltd," The search for a good treatment for Piles has been futile so far. The only recourse had been surgery. Aesculus Pentarkan will now offer a safe and effective therapy for this indication, working on the trusted principles of Homoeopathy."

He further added, "Through our innovative distribution network of pharmacies, exclusive showrooms and mobile clinics, we will be able to make this effective medicine accessible in almost every city across the country."

According to some estimates, 50 per cent of the people world-over suffers from hemorrhoids. Indian estimates indicate a figure of approximately 80 per cent of the cases being present in the age group of 21-50 years, the percentage of males and females being 67 per cent and 33 per cent respectively. This high prevalence in the more professionally and socially active years makes the disease a serious social problem.
