A prescription-strength hemorrhoidal treatment designed to provide rapid local relief from the intense pain, inflammation, swelling, and itching associated with acute hemorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures.
Scheriproct Suppositories combine two highly effective active ingredients that deliver a targeted, dual-action treatment directly to the affected rectal tissues:
Prednisolone Hexanoate: A mild-to-moderate local corticosteroid (anti-inflammatory agent). It works systemically on a local level to suppress the immune response that triggers localized swelling, redness, throbbing pain, and continuous itching. By shrinking inflamed blood vessels, it significantly reduces the size of painful hemorrhoidal tissue.
Cinchocaine Hydrochloride: A powerful local anesthetic. It works instantly by blocking the transmission of pain signals along the nerve fibers in the anal region. This numbs the area, providing immediate, temporary relief from sharp pain and burning sensations, particularly during and right after bowel movements.
Internal Hemorrhoids (Piles): Reducing inflammation and shrinking swollen blood vessels located inside the lower rectum.
Anal Fissures: Relieving severe pain and calming inflammation associated with minor tears or cracks in the lining of the anal canal.
Proctitis: Managing localized inflammation of the rectal lining.
Local Viral, Bacterial, or Fungal Infections: Strictly contraindicated if you have an active, untreated infection in the anal region (such as herpes, shingles, tuberculosis, or a deep fungal infection). Applying a steroid to an active infection can lower local immunity and cause the infection to spread rapidly.
Pregnancy (Especially First Trimester): Corticosteroids can be absorbed through the rectal lining. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your obstetrician before use; it should generally be avoided during the first 3 months of pregnancy.
Long-Term Continuous Use: Do not use this medication continuously for more than 7 days. Prolonged use of topical steroids can thin the delicate skin lining of the anus, increase the risk of localized bleeding, or cause systemic steroid absorption.
Bowel Movement First: Always try to pass stool and empty your bowels before inserting a suppository. This prevents the medicine from being expelled before it has time to dissolve and absorb properly.
Keep It Cool: Suppositories are made of a wax-like base designed to melt at body temperature. If the suppository feels soft before opening, place it in the refrigerator or run it under cold tap water for a few minutes while still in its plastic foil wrapper to harden it.
1.Wash your hands and clean the area:Sanitization.
Wash your hands thoroughly with mild soap and warm water. Cleanse the skin around the anus gently with warm water and a soft cloth, then pat it completely dry.
2.Remove the suppository from the foil wrapper:Unpacking.
Tear open the plastic or aluminum foil casing along the pre-cut lines to expose the bullet-shaped suppository. Avoid handling it for too long to keep it from melting in your fingers.
3.Gently push the suppository into the rectum:Insertion Mechanics.
Lie down on your side with your upper leg bent forward. Relax your muscles. Using a finger, gently push the suppository (pointed end first) completely into your anus. It should slide past the muscular sphincter ring easily.
4.Remain still to allow the medicine to melt:Rest and Cleanup.
Stay lying on your side for roughly 10 to 15 minutes to allow the suppository to melt and distribute evenly across the internal tissues. Wash your hands thoroughly immediately afterward.
Scheriproct Suppositories begin working within minutes of insertion as the cinchocaine melts over raw nerve endings, dulling sharp pain and burning sensations. Within 24 to 48 hours of starting treatment, the anti-inflammatory action of the prednisolone will noticeably reduce localized throbbing, minimize swelling, and make passing stool significantly more comfortable.
Because this medication is applied locally rather than swallowed as a pill, body-wide side effects are exceptionally rare when used as directed. A few individuals may notice:
A brief, mild burning or stinging sensation inside the rectum immediately after insertion.
Local skin irritation or mild dryness around the anus if used continuously for several days.
How often should I use Scheriproct Suppositories?
A standard adult dose is typically 1 suppository inserted daily, usually after a bowel movement. However, if your pain and inflammation are exceptionally severe on the first day, your doctor may direct you to insert up to 2 or 3 suppositories over the first 24 hours to gain initial control over your symptoms.
Can I use a Scheriproct cream alongside the suppositories?
Yes, frequently doctors or pharmacists will recommend using Scheriproct ointment for external hemorrhoids and itching around the outer skin, while using the suppositories to manage deep, internal swelling and pain. Ensure you do not exceed the recommended 7-day treatment window for both products combined.
What should I do if my hemorrhoids start bleeding heavily?
While mild spotting on your toilet tissue can occur with hemorrhoids, sudden or heavy rectal bleeding requires immediate medical attention. Stop using the suppositories and consult your doctor immediately to rule out more serious gastrointestinal conditions.
