The drug HERPOSICC contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Benzocaine
UNII U3RSY48JW5 - BENZOCAINE
|
|
Benzocaine is a local anaesthetic of the ester type, acting to produce reversible loss of sensation by preventing or diminishing the generation and transmission of sensory nerve impulses near the site of application. Depolarisation of the neuronal membrane and ion exchange are reversibly inhibited. |
|
2
Zinc
UNII SOI2LOH54Z - ZINC OXIDE
|
|
Zinc blocks the intestinal absorption of copper from the diet and the reabsorption of endogenously secreted copper. Zinc induces the production of metallothionein in the enterocyte, a protein that binds copper thereby preventing its transfer into the blood. The bound copper is then eliminated in the stool following desquamation of the intestinal cells. |
