Rules for the use of suppositories Proctosan with hemorrhoids

The drug can be the best effect on the treatment of hemorrhoids, but only if it is prescribed by a doctor. Treatment of patients should be selected after a thorough diagnosis, as hemorrhoids differ in forms, stages of inflammation. The choice of treatment regimen depends on comorbidities.
Suppositories Proctosan should be used for the internal form of the disease, that is, when hemorrhoids from the rectal ampulla do not come out. You can use them in the mixed form of pathology, it is characterized by the formation of cones near the anus and inside the intestine.
But in this case it is desirable to supplement the therapy with suitable ointments with venotonic, analgesic, bactericidal effect.

    To facilitate the administration of the suppository, lie on your left side and pull your legs up to the stomach.
    suppositories are inserted with a sharp end.
    After the procedure, you should lie on your stomach for at least 20 minutes.
    In the acute stage of the disease suppositories can be put Proctosan up to three times a day. After pain and irritation subside, it is recommended to switch to a single administration of suppositories.
    The course of treatment is not more than 10 days. And even if the symptoms of hemorrhoids pass in 2-3 days, it is recommended to continue the use of suppositories for 7-8 days, this reduces the risk of recurrence of the disease.
Suppositories Proctosan melt quickly, so after purchase they must be stored in a refrigerator in their original packaging. Before use, one suppository is kept at room temperature for 10 minutes, the package is opened and inserted. This method of use facilitates the formulation of suppositories and accelerates the absorption of drugs into the rectal tissue.
The use of Proctosan in the form of suppositories and ointment leads to a decrease in the strength of the condom in case of contact of medicinal components on it. To reduce the likelihood of an unplanned pregnancy and to prevent sexually transmitted infections, other methods of contraception should be additionally used during drug treatment.

    malignant neoplasms located in the rectum;
    diabetes;
    syphilis;
