User reviews
In their reviews, patients often praise Proctosedil ointment. Hemorrhoids ointment is very often recommended for use by doctors. According to users, it is quite thick, so it is easily inserted into the anus. The product contains a convenient applicator. Very often, patients turn to Proctosedil after the other drugs recommended by the doctor have not helped. Thanks to the antibiotic, a fairly quick recovery occurs. Sometimes patients complain of pain in the intestines and some discomfort in the abdomen. However, these symptoms disappear immediately after the course of treatment.
Very often, users do not like the fact that the applicator and the tip of the tube become clogged, and the remaining ointment dries up. But “Proctosedil” has a fairly affordable price. Due to the fact that there are two types of drug with different capacities, you can make a bargain if you buy a product weighing ten grams.
Often patients doubt: which is better - ointment or Proctosedil suppositories? The fact is that sometimes ointment flows from the anus and stains underwear. But candles have a similar property. Female patients are advised to use daily pads throughout the day. Due to the rather greasy consistency, the product is squeezed out with difficulty, which also causes some difficulties in use. Even a small amount is calculated for one course of treatment, which is usually enough to completely get rid of hemorrhoids. In general, patients note its rather high efficiency. Even despite some shortcomings, the medicine really allows you to recover from this unpleasant disease.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that it is forbidden to use Proctosedil ointment during pregnancy and lactation, many women immediately begin to use this drug immediately after childbirth. In such cases, the child has to be transferred to artificial feeding. The antibiotic contained in this product passes into breast milk, which is extremely undesirable for the baby. The question of the appointment of this drug should be decided only by the attending physician.
