In the article, we consider the instructions for use, price, reviews and analogues for the Hepatrombin preparation.
It is an effective treatment for the symptoms of hemorrhoids.
It is available in two dosage forms:
- in the form of a gel;
- in the form of an ointment.
Two options differ only in the dosage of heparin. Also on sale is the drug "Hepatrombin G". It is produced in the form of suppositories and ointments for topical application. Thanks to its multicomponent composition, “Hepatrombin” quickly copes with the pain syndrome caused by hemorrhoids, and also eliminates the inflammatory process and accelerates the restoration of damaged tissues. The composition of the drug includes three active components:
- Heparin.
- Lauromacrogol.
- Prednisone.
Together, these substances give a pronounced effect.
But the drug has a fairly wide list of contraindications and possible adverse reactions. It can not be used in cases where the course of the pathological process is characterized as chronic or acute. In addition, the drug is contraindicated in case of intense bleeding, since the heparin in the composition affects blood coagulation.
The price of Hepatrombin G: ointment - 160–190 rubles, suppositories - 165–200 rubles.
What are the best remedies for treating hemorrhoids?
When choosing a drug for the treatment of a thrombosed hemorrhoid, anticoagulants are considered to be of priority, the group of which includes Hepatrombin, among others. It contributes to the normalization of blood microcirculation in the vessels. This allows you to quickly stop the inflammation.
Sometimes it is not possible to use the remedy, therefore, it is required to choose an analog of “Hepatrombin”. Quite a lot of drugs are allocated, which can replace the anticoagulant. Let's consider some of them.
Relief
“Hepatrombin G” and “Relief” are drugs that are often prescribed in medical practice to treat symptoms of hemorrhoids and accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissue in the rectum. Both drugs have proven effectiveness and quickly eliminate the signs of hemorrhoids, restoring the structure of mucous membranes damaged by pathology.
The main difference between the drugs is that "Hepatrombin" is contraindicated for use in case of bleeding ulcers in the anus. The action of “Relief” is due to other processes, the active components of the drug increase the rate of blood coagulation and quickly stop hemorrhagic syndrome.
The active components in this analogue of “Hepatrombin G” are shark liver oil and phenylephrine hydrochloride. The drug is made in the form of suppositories for rectal administration and ointments for topical application. With caution, the drug is used during gestation and breastfeeding. An absolute contraindication for the use of Relief is diabetes and tuberculosis. Unlike Relief, Hepatrombin in the form of an ointment can be used in the presence of fistulas, as well as eczema in the anus.
When choosing a drug, it should be borne in mind that "Relief" is much more expensive. The average price for it is 450 rubles.
What other analogues does Hepatrombin G have?
Proctosan
The drug is prescribed for the treatment of hemorrhoids at the initial stage of development. The structure of Proctosan includes lidocaine, which is a potent local anesthetic. This component provides the analgesic effect of the drug, which distinguishes it from Hepatrombin G. "Proctosan" is made in the form of suppositories for rectal administration and helps to quickly get rid of itching and burning due to its second active component, bufexam. This substance has anti-inflammatory properties and effectively eliminates local discomfort.
"Proctosan" is not prescribed for women during pregnancy and during breastfeeding, although it is not included in the category of steroid drugs. The composition of candles includes wax, paraffin, sorbitan, as well as substances such as bismuth and titanium dioxide.
This is confirmed by the instructions for the analogue of “Hepatrombin G”.
You can prescribe the considered rectal suppositories against the background of exacerbation of the symptoms of hemorrhoids. In this case, the drug will accelerate the healing process of cracks in the anus and relieve the inflammatory process. For children, the drug is not prescribed if there is damage to the anorectal region.
The duration of treatment does not exceed ten days. A noticeable effect from the use of candles occurs after a few days. The cost of the drug reaches 500 rubles.
Analogs "Hepatrombin G" should be selected by a doctor.
Nigepan
It also contains heparin, which allows you to attribute the drug to anticoagulants. In addition, there is benzocaine in the candles, which provides the analgesic properties of Nigepan.
Suppositories for rectal administration are prescribed in the treatment of hemorrhoids as a wound healing and analgesic. The most effective will be Nigepan in the treatment of anal fissures, intense pain and an unexpressed inflammatory process. This analog of suppositories “Hepatrombin” is not used in severe forms of the course of pathology.
In some cases, the combination of Nigepin suppositories with ointments, including with Hepatrombin, is allowed. This combination will increase the effectiveness of both drugs and accelerate tissue repair. Suppositories prevent blood clots by relieving swelling and inflammation.
Contraindications "Nigepan" do not differ from "Hepatrombin G", which is due to similar active components. When using the drug, local adverse reactions in the form of swelling and itching of the mucous membranes of the anus are possible.
Nigepan is made only in the form of rectal suppositories. Its average cost is about 300 rubles.
Hepatrombin analogues can be purchased at any pharmacy chain.
Procto-Glivenol
The composition of Procto-Glivenol differs from Hepatrombin. The active components in the drug are lidocaine and tribenoside. The drug is rapidly absorbed and has a pronounced venotonic, decongestant and angioprotective effect. Among other things, thanks to lidocaine, suppositories effectively anesthetize and eliminate itching. Procto-Glivenol acts much faster than drugs based on heparin.
The effectiveness of tribenazide is due to a decrease in endothelial venous pores, which allows you to strengthen the vascular walls and increase their elasticity. Thus, it is possible to prevent the exit of fluid in the tissue from the bloodstream. Such properties make it possible to relieve puffiness and normalize the process of blood microcirculation. Tribenazide also exhibits antiallergenic and anesthetic activity due to inhibition of the production of certain substances in the body.
The analog of suppositories "Hepatrombin G" "Procto-Glivenol" can be used for different types of hemorrhoids, including external and internal. The main difference is that it can be used even with an exacerbation of the disease.
Adverse reactions
Despite all the positive aspects of these rectal suppositories, the use of the drug may be associated with the appearance of adverse reactions. Basically, we are talking about intolerance to the components that make up the drug, which is manifested by local allergic reactions. In some cases, adverse reactions are accompanied by a rash in the anus, increased soreness and dermatitis.
Another important difference of Procto-Glivenol is the possibility of its use from the second trimester of pregnancy, as well as during breastfeeding. The drug should be used after bowel movement, as in this case absorption will occur faster. You can also supplement the candles with applications with Procto-Glivenol ointment. The cost of the drug is quite high and can reach 500 rubles. However, its effectiveness is higher than that of Hepatrombin, which justifies the high cost.
Below we consider the analogues of the ointment "Hepatrombin G".
Relief ointment
Very high-quality ointment for the treatment of hemorrhoids. The drug has a unique composition - it contains shark liver oil. This component has a local hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, wound healing and immunomodulating effect on precipitated and inflamed hemorrhoids.
Ointment is used for the treatment of both external and internal hemorrhoids. The composition includes phenylethylamine, which has a vasoconstrictive effect.
"Proctosedil"
Another analogue of the ointment "Hepatrombin" - "Proctosedil."
It is a combination drug for local use. One of the most effective ointments for hemorrhoids.
It has anti-inflammatory, angioprotective, antipruritic, local anesthetic and antibacterial effects.
Additional recommendations
Treatment of hemorrhoids will give greater results if supplemented with drugs that increase vascular tone and normalize the blood circulation process. One of these drugs is Troxevasin. It is produced in the form of ointments, as well as tablets for oral administration.
Also, ointment "Levomekol" is often prescribed to patients with hemorrhoids as a wound healing agent. The ointment also has an antibacterial effect and relieves inflammation. The drug is prescribed in cases where the doctor reveals infection of damaged tissues of the anus.
During pregnancy, heparin-based drugs are not prescribed for the treatment of hemorrhoids. As a rule, doctors recommend using safer products, for example, candles based on sea buckthorn oil, papaverine or propolis.
Reviews
It is quite difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular drug for hemorrhoids. The response to the active components may be different for each patient. Therefore, the selection of a medicine for hemorrhoids should be provided to a specialist who will take into account the existing contraindications and possible adverse reactions.
Many experts are of the opinion that it is impossible to completely eliminate hemorrhoids through the use of “Hepatrombin”. Suppositories relieve symptoms, however, the complete elimination of the pathology will require the use of additional drugs. The advantage of the drug is its cost and availability.
As for the patients, there is also no consensus among them about the effectiveness of Hepatrombin. In the treatment of hemorrhoids with suppositories, there is a decrease in the intensity of the pain syndrome, the removal of inflammation and the prevention of bleeding. Many patients have to use the drug in conjunction with other drugs.
Reviews about the gel "Hepatrombin"
Women speak well of the Hepatrombin gel. The analogue is Lyoton. It is used as a prophylactic for varicose veins. At the same time, many note a decrease in pain in the legs, as well as smoothing of protruding veins. The use of the gel is especially relevant for those whose work is associated with a long stay in a static position.
Thus, neither doctors nor patients deny that Hepatrombin has a certain degree of effectiveness, but almost everyone emphasizes that today the pharmaceutical market is ready to offer safer and more effective drugs for the treatment of hemorrhoids and varicose veins.
