Alas, the delicate problem of hemorrhoids and anal fissures is familiar to many patients. Many are embarrassed to seek the help of a proctologist and are looking for ways to alleviate the condition on their own. Ultraproct candles come to the rescue, instructions for use which describe in detail all the nuances of use. This allows you to carry out therapy of the neglected stage of hemorrhoids at home.
Release form and active components
The drug is made in the following form:
- rectal suppositories;
- ointment.
The composition of the candles "Ultraproct":
- fluocortolone hexonate;
- fluocortolone pivalate;
- chinocaine hydrochloride.
Castor oil, macrogol-400-monoricinoleate, lemon flavoring, octyldodecanol are used as additional components.
Sold in the form of candles, five pieces in contour packaging. The ointment is available in a 10 g metal tube
How much do Ultraproct candles cost? Depending on the region of sale and the margin of the pharmacy chain, the price varies from five hundred to eight hundred rubles. Ointment costs a little cheaper - about four hundred rubles. Suppositories are better in effectiveness than ointment.
Indications for use
The convenience and effectiveness of using rectal suppositories guarantee the popularity of the drug in patients. Indications for the use of candles "Ultraproct":
- hemorrhoidal disease at any stage;
- proctological pathologies;
- anal fissures during remission and exacerbation;
- proctitis.
If the use of ointment limits the area for exposure to beneficial components, then with candles this problem does not arise. Despite the fact that the ointment is cheaper than suppositories, it is the use of rectal suppositories that guarantees the maximum effect of getting rid of itching, pain and burning, and will also prevent the prolapse of the rectum.
Side effects and contraindications
Instructions for use with candles "Ultraproct" reports that they should not be used in the presence of the following diseases and conditions:
- development of infectious diseases in the body (acute stage of pyelonephritis, diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and others);
- with manifestations of syphilis;
- during pregnancy and lactation.
It is forbidden to use candles for persons with increased individual sensitivity to the active components of suppositories (fluocortolone hexonate, fluocortolone pivalate, zincocaine hydrochloride).
Among the side effects, patients in some cases note burning, tingling, and mild itching at the site of application of the ointment or after using a rectal suppository. This is a completely normal reaction, as useful components can slightly irritate the inflamed edges of cracks and become a source of discomfort with hemorrhoids. Already in the second or third use of Ultraproct, such sensations completely disappear, since the mucosa of the walls of the rectum is restored.
How to use?
Some patients refuse to use rectal suppositories in favor of the ointment due to the fear of doing something wrong when using a suppository. Ultraproct is very easy to use, and their introduction does not cause pain or discomfort. Here is an example algorithm for setting up a suppository for yourself:
- Before using rectal suppositories, wash hands with soap or wipe with a disinfectant cloth.
- Open the blister with a candle, take it with two fingers on the base.
- No need to lubricate the suppository with oil or cream to facilitate insertion: the tip is already quite slippery and will not bring any pain.
- Bring the candle to the anus previously pre-washed with cool water and insert the suppository with a slight movement, pushing the index finger to a depth of about one to two centimeters from the sphincter. There is no need to insert the Ultraproct candle deeper: it will quickly melt under the influence of body temperature and useful components themselves will spread on the inner surface of the rectum.
What you can not do when using candles
Forbidden when using:
- try to push the suppository as deep as possible;
- take the suppository with dirty hands;
- perform an act of defecation within half an hour after using a suppository (in this case, the components simply do not have time to have a therapeutic effect on the inner surface of the rectum).
The drug in the form of a rectal ointment should be applied to the affected areas of the skin only after hygienic procedures, otherwise the ointment can provoke a burning sensation and itching.
Reviews proctologists about candles "Ultraproct"
Of particular note is the importance of the proper use of candles. Almost all patients, having read in the instructions for Ultraproct rectal suppositories information that for the maximum therapeutic effect it is necessary to insert the suppository as deep as possible, interpret it in their own way. According to most patients, “deep” is about six to seven centimeters. Proctologists warn that trying to put a candle at such a depth is simply dangerous.
The use of Ultraproct ointment is simpler, but it does not provide the therapeutic effect that the use of rectal suppositories allows to achieve.
How to use to achieve the best result?
Proctologists recommend, if necessary, combine the use of Ultraproct candles with alternative methods of treatment. This will help in the shortest possible time to get rid of the symptoms of even the most advanced hemorrhoids. for example, in the morning put a suppository.
In the evening, arrange a healing bath from infusions of herbs (calendula, yarrow) with soda. Then rinse the anus with cool water and grease with Ultraproct ointment. Such a complex effect will help to avoid surgical intervention and in a couple of weeks will save the patient from manifestations of hemorrhoidal disease.
Reviews on the treatment of manifestations of hemorrhoidal disease
Patients often leave laudatory comments on the means of Ultraprokt on the Internet. Ointment and suppositories helped many of them achieve long-term remission without going to a proctologist. Regular use of Ultraproct at home helped to avoid surgical intervention and save money on laser treatment of hemorrhoids.
Patients also note that funds (especially candles) help with anal fissures. Already a couple of hours after using the first suppository, the pain, itching, burning sensation recedes. The bowel movement is painless.
Reviews on suppositories from hemorrhoids "Ultraproct" in the total mass are positive. Patients are usually negatively tuned due to the fact that the cost of the drug is quite high.
