How Pilon Tablet works
Pilon Tablet works through the combined action of its herbal ingredients, several of which — such as Sonamukhi (Senna) — have a mild laxative effect that eases constipation. Other ingredients in the formulation are traditionally used for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce the discomfort associated with piles.
