Faktu ointment

Faktu is a well-known pharmaceutical brand used for the treatment of hemorrhoids and related conditions. The brand was originally developed by Byk Gulden, a German pharmaceutical manufacturer that was eventually integrated into Altana Pharma and later acquired by Nycomed. Today, the brand is owned by the multinational pharmaceutical giant Takeda, though in many European and international markets, the rights to Faktu and other legacy products were transferred to Cheetah Pharma or Stada Arzneimittel following various divestments and mergers.

The product shown in the image is typically manufactured in Germany, where the core production facilities for these specialized dermatological and proctological treatments are located. Takeda continues to oversee the global strategy for the brand, while local subsidiaries or acquisition partners like Stada manage the distribution and marketing in specific regions such as Central and Eastern Europe. The active ingredients, Policresulen and Cinchocaine, remain the standard formula for this trusted medical treatment.
