Patient Reviews: How Scheriproct Has Made a Difference

Treatment Information

Table of contents:

What is Scheriproct?

Scheriproct is a prescription treatment for haemorrhoids. It contains an anti-inflammatory and a local anaesthetic.

The anti-inflammatory acts upon the swollen piles themselves, shrinking them over time.

The local anaesthetic numbs the affected area, bringing quick relief from pain and irritation.

You can get Scheriproct in two formulations: an ointment or suppositories.

Scheriproct ointment can be used for both external and internal haemorrhoids, using the provided applicator nozzle.

Scheriproct suppositories are intended exclusively for internal haemorrhoids.

If you're unsure which treatment is suitable for you, our online doctors are available to assist you with any questions you may have about your treatment.

What are haemorrhoids?

Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are lumps that appear in and around the anus. While they can clear up on their own within a few days, various medications are available to treat them, such as Scheriproct.

Symptoms of piles include:

  • Bright red blood after passing stools
  • Itching around the anus
  • Feeling like you still need to after passing stools
  • Mucus in your underwear or on toilet paper after wiping your back passage
  • Lumps around the anus
  • Pain around the anus

If you are unsure whether you have haemorrhoids, or if you are experiencing such symptoms for the first time, it is best to speak to your doctor before you buy Scheriproct online.

If you experience severe bleeding (your bleeding doesn't stop or the toilet water turns red) or if you are in severe pain, dial 999 or go straight to A&E.

What causes haemorrhoids?

Piles develop when varicose veins dilate, creating blood-filled swellings in and around the back passage. They usually occur just inside the anal passage but can protrude or distend downwards.

Haemorrhoids can develop at any age. However, there are several factors that may increase your risk of piles, such as:

  • Pregnancy
  • Frequent or chronic constipation
  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Sitting for a long time
  • Age
  • Having a family history of haemorrhoids

You should discuss your haemorrhoids with your doctor to determine a possible cause.

Your doctor will be able to offer practical advice on reducing your risk of developing piles in the future.

They may also be able to suggest things you shouldn't do while you have piles.

What variations of Scheriproct are available?

Scheriproct is available as an ointment or suppository from our online pharmacy.

The ointment is used for both internal and external piles, while Scheriproct suppositories are reserved for internal piles only.

You can get a private prescription for Scheriproct ointment or suppositories with confidence from our online prescription service. We make ordering haemorrhoid treatment online fast and convenient.

How does Scheriproct work?

Scheriproct contains two ingredients that work together to provide relief and alleviate the symptoms of haemorrhoids.

Prednisolone is a corticosteroid widely used to treat inflammation. It reduces redness, swelling and inflammation in and around the anus.

Cinchocaine is a local topical anaesthetic. It causes numbness in the area it is applied to by blocking nerve signals.

How long does Scheriproct take to work?

Scheriproct is usually prescribed for a week, after which your condition should improve.

If your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of using Scheriproct, inform your doctor.

How to take Scheriproct?

Before using Scheriproct ointment or suppositories, ensure that you wash your hands and the application area.

How to use Scheriproct suppositories?

For Scheriproct suppositories, insert one suppository into your rectum three times daily, after a bowel movement.

Important: Remember to remove the protective foil from the suppository before insertion.

1. Start by washing your hands with warm water and soap.

2. If the suppository is soft, you can run it under some cold water while it is still in the foil to firm it up. Once the suppository is firm, remove the protective foil.

3. Get into a comfortable position by either standing or lying on your side.

4. Raise one knee to make insertion easier. If you are standing, you can use a chair to help maintain your balance.

5. Insert the suppository a half to 1 inch (about 2 and a half centimetres) into your anus.

6. Wash your hands with warm, soapy water after inserting the suppository.

How to use Scheriproct ointment?

For use of the ointment on external haemorrhoids, apply a small amount of the ointment to your fingertip and apply as a thin layer to the affected area.

To use the ointment on internal haemorrhoids, use the provided applicator nozzle attachment. Insert the nozzle into the back passage and gently squeeze the tube as you pull the nozzle out.

After using Scheriproct ointment, wash your hands. If you used the nozzle attachment for internal haemorrhoids, wash the nozzle as instructed in the patient information leaflet supplied with your medicine.

Store Scheriproct in a safe place out of the sight and reach of children and pets.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Scheriproct?

If you miss a dose of Scheriproct, use it as soon as you remember.

If it is near the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your normal regimen.

Do not use more Scheriproct to make up for a missed dose.

What should I do if I use more Scheriproct than I should?

If you accidentally use more Scheriproct than recommended, or if you use Scheriproct for longer than 7 days, please inform your doctor.

Scheriproct side effects and cautions

All medicines carry the risk of side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Understanding the risks associated with your medication and recognising the signs to look for is crucial to your health.

You can find the side effects and cautions associated with the use of Scheriproct in the patient information leaflet supplied with your medicine.

You can read the patient information leaflet for Scheriproct Ointment online.

The patient information leaflet for Scheriproct Suppositories is also available for online viewing.

Possible side effects of Scheriproct include:

  • Skin irritation (caused by castor oil)
  • Thinning of the skin (caused by overuse of the product for a period longer than 7 days)

This is not an exhaustive list of side effects. Further information regarding the safety of Scheriproct can be found in the patient information leaflet enclosed with your medicine.

If you experience any side effects, whether listed above or in the patient information leaflet, please inform your doctor or a pharmacist.

What should I do if I experience the signs of an allergic reaction?

Do not use Scheriproct if you are allergic to any of its ingredients listed in the patient information leaflet.

If you experience the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop using Scheriproct and seek appropriate medical attention.

Signs of an allergic reaction can include:

  • Breathing problems
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Rash
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue and throat

How can I stay safe while taking Scheriproct?

Please inform our prescriber of all the medicines you take, including over-the-counter medicines, prescription medicines and health supplements, to ensure that Scheriproct is safe for you.

Do not use more than one haemorrhoid medicine at a time.

Always follow your doctor's instructions when using Scheriproct suppositories or Scheriproct ointment.

Always consult your doctor before you buy Scheriproct online from Prescription Doctor.

Do not use Scheriproct past the expiry date printed on the packaging. The date refers to the last day of the specified month.

Do not dispose of medicines via household or water waste. Take any unwanted or expired medicine to your local pharmacy and ask them to dispose of it safely on your behalf.

Always store Scheriproct ointment and suppositories out of sight and out of reach of children and pets.

Never share your medicine with anybody else, even if the other person is experiencing the same symptoms as you or has been diagnosed with the same condition.

Frequently asked questions about Scheriproct

Can I use Scheriproct while pregnant or breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor before using Scheriproct.

Will Scheriproct affect my ability to drive or operate machinery?

Your ability to drive or operate machinery should not be affected by Scheriproct.

Can I drink alcohol while taking Scheriproct?

While you can drink alcohol while using Scheriproct, you should limit your alcohol consumption.

You should reduce your intake of alcohol if you have haemorrhoids, as alcohol causes dehydration, leading to constipation, which worsens the symptoms of haemorrhoids.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

You do need a prescription to buy Scheriproct online. When you order Scheriproct from Prescription Doctor, our doctor can issue a prescription for Scheriproct online, which our UK-registered pharmacy will then fulfil.

Can I buy Scheriproct over the counter?

Scheriproct is not available over the counter. However, you can buy Scheriproct online without a prescription from Prescription Doctor. Our online doctor can issue a Scheriproct prescription online, which our UK-based pharmacy can then dispense and dispatch to your door.

Avoid these 7 things if you have haemorrhoids

Haemorrhoids are an unpleasant and very private condition. Anyone suffering from haemorrhoids can relieve some of the suffering by avoiding these seven things.1. Personal Cleaning ProductsSome soaps, washing powders and cleaning products may contain perfumes and other chemicals with ingredients that can irritate the tender skin around the anus.Take care when cleaning, especially after using the toilet. Avoid using harsh chemicals; instead, opt for soft toilet paper and consider using moistened, disposable wipes. When showering, avoid vigorous scrubbing around the buttocks and anus.2. Apple Cider VinegarThough completely natural, apple cider vinegar is not a cure-all. Simply because something is natural does not make it beneficial; in fact, vinegar in your diet can exacerbate the pain of haemorrhoids.Maintaining a normal liquid intake is vital, as the body's digestive system uses water to regulate healthy bowel movements. Filtered fruit juices in moderation (as they have a high sugar content) can easily replace 'natural' remedies like apple cider vinegar. The best choice? Still water, chilled if you prefer.Plan to consume roughly two litres of water a day. This does not mean having half a litre at breakfast, half a litre at lunch, and so on. Regulate and spread out your liquid intake so you avoid taxing your kidneys and bladder. Any undue pressure in your system, whether from a full bladder, swollen prostate, or bloated intestines, can worsen the effects of haemorrhoids.Set a goal to steadily sip water throughout the day, increasing your intake during meals if desired. Avoid caffeinated and carbonated drinks.If you find your sleep disturbed by night-time trips to the bathroom, set a general rule of thumb to stop drinking liquids at least an hour before bedtime.3. Sitting for Extended PeriodsExtended time sitting, whether on a cushioned chair, wooden chair, or bare toilet seat, can actually weaken muscles around the anus, leading to haemorrhoids. If you already have haemorrhoids, sitting for lengthy periods of time can make them worse.A workday alternative to prolonged sitting is to get up every 15 minutes, even if only to walk to the end of a hallway and back. Some sufferers find relief by using standing desks.At home, limit your time on the couch. Balance sitting with moderate exercise. Keeping your muscles supple and your torso limber will make digestion easier, relieving the pressure of haemorrhoids.4. Straining During Bowel MovementsUnfortunately, in our hurried lives, we seem to compel even basic bodily functions to work on an artificially sped-up biological clock. Whether due to prolonged sitting, a lack of exercise, or a change in diet, slow bowel movements can occur from time to time. Rather than strain vigorously while going to the toilet, relax and try again later if at all possible.Increase water intake to promote healthy bowel movements. Note any medications, including supplements such as vitamins and dietary pills, so your doctor can determine if side effects from them could be causing difficulty with elimination.5. Delaying Toilet UseWhile straining while on the toilet can be harmful, so too can be delay. Ignoring the natural signals your digestive tract sends can lead to compacted stools, which can back up from the natural storage area, the rectum, into the sigmoid colon and even into the descending colon.Constipation worsens haemorrhoids, so when your body sends the signals to eliminate solid waste, pay attention. Relax, interrupt what you're doing, and go to the bathroom.6. Low-Fibre FoodsFoods low in fibre increase the risk of constipation. Consuming more fibre eases the need to strain when eliminating. Foods high in fibre include:PearsStrawberriesMany types of beans, including haricots, and AvocadosApplesCarrotsMany nuts and seeds, especially almonds and chia seedsChickpeasRaspberriesDark chocolateBy contrast, low-fibre foods include highly processed snack foods, yoghurt, semi-soft and soft cheeses, most fish, eggs, smooth peanut butter, white rice, and strained soups and broths.7. ScratchingNo question - haemorrhoids can be maddening. The urge to scratch the itch and burning of haemorrhoids can distract even the most driven person from whatever important task is before her or him. Unfortunately, scratching around the tender, inflamed area only makes matters worse, as the haemorrhoids can bleed, become even more sensitive, or swell further.Speak with your doctor about topical relief ointments or creams that can lessen the urge to scratch. Avoid tight-fitting clothes as they can rub against the haemorrhoids and aggravate them further.If you are suffering from haemorrhoids for the first time in your life, consult your doctor to ensure an accurate diagnosis. If you are experiencing a flare-up, consider effective haemorrhoid treatments, such as those available online at trusted online pharmacies like Prescription Doctor. With the help of these sensible precautions, advice from medical professionals, and prescription treatments, haemorrhoids need not impair the quality of your life.

How long does Scheriproct take to work?

Scheriproct is used to provide relief from painful haemorrhoids.Haemorrhoids (piles) are enlarged swollen veins found around the outside of the anus or inside the lower rectum. The rectum is the last part of the digestive tract and leads to the anus, the opening where faeces leaves the body.Haemorrhoidal tissue comprises blood vessels, connective tissue, and some muscle. The haemorrhoids become more common as we age. It can be caused by various reasons such as:Straining to make a bowel movement due to constipationLifting heavy objects and other strenuous activitiesExperiencing increased pressure during pregnancyBeing overweightWhile haemorrhoids can be painful, they are not usually dangerous or life-threatening, and can go away on their own, according to the NHS. There are treatments available, such as Scheriproct, that can relieve symptoms in just a couple of days.Scheriproct works in two ways to relieve the unpleasant symptoms of haemorrhoids.Firstly, Scheriproct contains a local anaesthetic called cinchocaine. This reduces pain, itching and discomfort by numbing the affected area.The treatment also contains prednisolone, an anti-inflammatory that reduces pain and swelling.Scheriproct is available as an ointment and internal suppositories. But just how long do they take to treat haemorrhoids?Read on to discover how long it takes the different formulations of Scheriproct to provide relief from haemorrhoids.How long does Scheriproct ointment take to work?Scheriproct ointment is primarily used to treat external haemorrhoids, but can also be used to treat internal haemorrhoids using the provided applicator.It usually takes between 5 and 7 days for Scheriproct ointment to bring relief from haemorrhoids.Do not use Scheriproct ointment for more than 7 days without consulting your doctor. Long-term use of topical steroids can cause higher than prescribed amounts of the ointment to be absorbed through the skin, increasing the chances of side effects.If your symptoms do not improve after using Scheriproct ointment for 7 consecutive days, consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice.How long do Scheriproct suppositories take to work?Scheriproct suppositories are used to treat internal haemorrhoids. They are inserted into the back passage (anus), where they melt and the active ingredients are absorbed through the lining of the colon.Similar to the ointment, Scheriproct suppositories typically take between 5 and 7 days to bring relief from internal haemorrhoids.Again, you should not use Scheriproct suppositories for longer than 7 days without first consulting a doctor.The dual-action of Scheriproct ointment and suppositories provides effective relief from both internal and external piles within 5-7 days. However, if you do not notice an improvement in your condition after using Scheriproct for 7 days, speak to your doctor.While treating haemorrhoids, take care not to aggravate your condition further.
