Proctosedyl suppositories are used for the relief of the discomfort of haemorrhoids (piles) and other painful conditions of the anus (rear end), such as fissures (tears). Haemorrhoids often result when people strain while trying to open their bowel (defecate). This problem is often, but not always, associated with low-fibre diets.
Proctosedyl Suppositories contain the active ingredients hydrocortisone, a steroid, and cinchocaine hydrochloride, a local anaesthetic. This double action suppository may provide relief of haemorrhoids and other associated anorectal conditions:
1. Pain relief using local anaesthetic
2. Reduces inflammation and swelling
3. Relieves itching
Active Ingredients: Each gram contains: hydrocortisone 5mg, cinchocaine hydrochloride 5mg.
Do not use:
- if seal is broken
