PROCTOSEDYL Ointment is 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 Ointment contains the active ingredients hydrocortisone, a steroid, and cinchocaine hydrochloride, a local anaesthetic. These work together to reduce swelling, numb pain and relieve itching.

 

    Active Ingredients:
    hydrocortisone 5 mg/g and cinchocaine hydrochloride 5 mg/g.

    Inactive Ingredients:
    liquid paraffin
    white soft paraffin
    wool fat

    For best results, first go to the toilet and empty your bowels. Do not strain. Wash and dry the anal area.Before and after use, wash your hands well with soap and water.

    1.If the affected area is on the surface, use your finger to apply just enough ointment to cover the painful area.

    2.If you need to apply PROCTOSEDYL Ointment deeper, first screw the plastic nozzle (which is supplied in the carton) tightly on to the tube.

    Then gently insert the nozzle all the way into the rectum (back passage) and squeeze the tube from the lower end, while at the same time withdrawing it from the rectum

    Note that if the area is very inflamed and painful, it is advisable to initially apply the ointment with a finger, rather than insert the nozzle.
