Proctosedyl is a topical haemorrhoid treatment which contains two ingredients; hydrocortisone and cinchocaine. It is presented as an ointment which, when applied to the affected area, provides relief from painful piles for between five and seven days.
You can buy Proctosedyl with confidence from Prescription Doctor, who can deliver your treatment discreetly straight to your door.
Proctosedyl contains two ingredients which work in tandem to provide effective relief from the discomfort and pain which can sometimes come from haemorrhoids.
Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid which reduces swelling and inflammation. It does this by inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals from cells.
Cinchocaine is a local anaesthetic. This block pain signals being sent to the brain along the nerves. It numbs the area of application and provides temporary relief from pain.
The ointment can be used to treat both internal and external haemorrhoids.
Proctosedyl ointment is applied directly onto the affected area.
Before applying the ointment, wash the affected area and gently dry.
Always wash your hands after every application of this medicine.
All medicines have the potential of causing side effects, though not everybody gets them. Understanding the side effects to look out for is important to your care.
Possible side effects of Proctosedyl may include:
If you experience any side effects, whether they are listed above or in the patient information leaflet, please inform your doctor or speak to a pharmacist.
If you experience the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction, cease using the medicine immediately and seek appropriate medical attention. Signs of an allergic reaction include:

If you realise you use more of the medicine than recommended, it may indicate that this treatment is not right for you.
Speak to your doctor if you feel Proctosedyl is not working for you.
If you forget to use your ointment, use it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue using the ointment as you normally would.
