Proctosedyl Suppositories can be used for the short term relief (not more than 7 days) of:
• Pain, irritation, discharge and itching associated with enlarged or swollen vessels around your back passage (haemorrhoids)
• Itching around your back passage
Proctosedyl Suppositories contain two different medicines called: cinchocaine hydrochloride and hydrocortisone.
• Cinchocaine hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines called local anaesthetics. It works by causing numbness in the area to which it is applied. This stops you feeling pain in this area and helps lessen the spasm of the back passage
• Hydrocortisone belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids. It works by lowering the production of substances that cause inflammation. This helps lower swelling, itching and discharge
