Product Name:
Proctosedyl Haemorrhoids Relief - 12 Suppositories
Product Description:
Proctosedyl suppositories offer effective relief from the discomfort of haemorrhoids (commonly known as piles) and other painful conditions of the anus, such as fissures or tears. These conditions often occur due to straining during bowel movements, which can be exacerbated by low-fibre diets. Proctosedyl Suppositories are specially formulated to alleviate these discomforts and provide relief through a unique combination of active ingredients.
Usage and Indications:
Proctosedyl Suppositories are designed for anal and rectal use only. To use, remove the suppository from its packaging and moisten it briefly with cool water. Position one foot on the side of the bath or toilet, raising the knee to the chest. Gently insert the suppository into the rectum (back passage). It is advisable to avoid using the toilet for at least one hour to allow the suppository time to take effect. For optimal results, apply Proctosedyl Suppositories after a bowel movement, and you can use up to three suppositories daily.
Active Ingredients:
Each gram of Proctosedyl Suppository contains two active ingredients that work together to relieve haemorrhoid-related discomfort:
- Hydrocortisone (5mg): This is a steroid that reduces inflammation and swelling, providing relief from pain and discomfort.
- Cinchocaine Hydrochloride (5mg): This is a local anaesthetic that alleviates pain and itching associated with haemorrhoids.
Dosage Instructions:
For best results, apply Proctosedyl Suppositories after a bowel movement. Insert one suppository into the rectum up to three times daily. Please follow the provided instructions carefully.
