1 Hydrocortisone
UNII 3X7931PO74 - HYDROCORTISONE ACETATE

2 Lidocaine
UNII 98PI200987 - LIDOCAINE

Lidocaine, like other local anaesthetics, causes a reversible blockade of impulse propagation along nerve fibres by preventing the inward movement of sodium ions through the nerve membrane. Local anaesthetics of the amide-type are thought to act within the sodium channels of the nerve membrane.

3 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.
