This medication is specially designed to solve uncomfortable problems with maximum comfort for the patient. The medication is completely safe, as evidenced by the numerous positive reviews about the candles "Posterisan".
Form of production and composition
On the shelves of pharmacies you can see both candles and ointment with a similar name, however, the first type of drug is considered more effective due to the effective local effect on the focus of inflammation. This activity is explained by passive cells of E. coli, which, when in contact with the mucous membranes, can improve the regional resistance of tissues to the effects of pathogenic microorganisms. As a result of this effect, the immune system is stimulated.
Rectal suppositories have a torpedo shape, light yellow or white color and a characteristic aroma of phenol. Candles "Posterisan" are produced in contour blisters of 5 pieces. So, the drug contains:
- inactivated microbial cells - E. coli;
- hydrocortisone;

Drug properties
According to the instructions, the candles "Posterizan" are intended for local use. Suppositories have immunostimulating and anti-inflammatory properties. Antigens of cells and waste products of Escherichia coli contained in the medication are in contact with the mucous membrane of the rectum, as well as epithelium in the area of the anogenital region. At the same time, local resistance of organ tissues to the influence of pathogenic microorganisms is activated.
In addition, the drug stimulates the T-system of immune defense, cells of the reticuloendothelial apparatus and the work of phagocytic leukocytes. It increases the effectiveness of the nonspecific properties of immunity, reduces exudation in the process of inflammation, stabilizes the permeability and tone of the blood channels. Hydrocortisone has anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory characteristics, reduces swelling, hyperemia, itching and pain. Derivatives of the drug do not enter the systemic circulation.
By eliminating the inflammatory process, as well as improving the protective properties of the body with the help of the drug, an analgesic effect can be achieved, which is especially important for patients suffering from rectal ailments.
General characteristics
