Scheriproct-N Cream 10g
Scheriproct-N Cream is a highly effective, dual-action treatment designed for the short-term symptomatic relief of piles (hemorrhoids), anal fissures, and anal itching (pruritus ani). This rectal ointment (often called a cream) is a staple for those seeking fast relief from the discomfort of anal conditions in Nigeria.
How Scheriproct-N Works
Scheriproct-N utilizes a powerful combination of two active ingredients to target both the symptoms and the underlying inflammation:
- Prednisolone hexanoate (1.9mg/g): A corticosteroid that helps reduce swelling, redness, and inflammation in the affected area.
- Cinchocaine hydrochloride (5mg/g): A potent local anesthetic that provides rapid numbing to alleviate sharp pain and persistent itching.
Key Benefits
- Rapid Pain Relief: The local anesthetic begins working within minutes to soothe burning sensations.
- Reduces Hemorrhoidal Swelling: Helps shrink inflamed tissue, making bowel movements more comfortable.
- Relieves Anal Itching: Calms the "pepperish" or itchy feeling often associated with piles or "toilet infection" symptoms.
- Dual-Action Formula: Simultaneously treats inflammation and pain for comprehensive relief.
Usage Instructions for Best Results
- Preparation: Wash the anal area thoroughly and dry gently with a soft towel before application.
- Application: Apply a small amount of the ointment to the affected area twice daily. For better results, apply after a bowel movement.
- Internal Piles: Use the provided applicator nozzle for internal application as directed by your healthcare professional.
- Duration: Treatment should typically last between 5 to 7 days. Do not exceed 14 days of continuous use without consulting a doctor.
Safety and Precautions
- Consult a Pharmacist: Always speak with a GoMed pharmacist before starting treatment, especially if you suspect an infection.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Scheriproct-N if you are pregnant or nursing.
- Storage: Store the tube in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Do not freeze.
