Scheriproct Ointment is a topical prescription medicine used to treat symptoms associated with internal and external haemorrhoids, including pain, itching, swelling, and inflammation. Each 30 g tube contains prednisolone hexanoate (a corticosteroid) and cinchocaine hydrochloride (a local anaesthetic). Together, these ingredients deliver powerful, fast-acting relief for rectal discomfort.
The corticosteroid in Scheriproct works by calming inflammation and reducing immune activity at the site of application. It helps shrink swollen tissue and soothes redness. Cinchocaine, the anaesthetic component, blocks nerve signals in the skin. This reduces pain, itching, and burning, providing comfort where it’s most needed.
Patients typically use this ointment for short-term relief. Its effects begin within hours, making it a trusted treatment for flare-ups or acute haemorrhoidal pain. The formula is easy to apply using the included applicator, and its soothing texture helps coat and protect delicate skin during healing.
Scheriproct is especially useful for people experiencing discomfort during bowel movements or when haemorrhoids interfere with daily activities. It is also suitable for short-term treatment of anal fissures or postoperative rectal irritation, where inflammation and soreness are a concern.
This ointment is applied once or twice daily, depending on your doctor’s advice. Relief often appears quickly, but you should complete the full course of treatment. Using it for longer than recommended can lead to skin thinning or irritation, so always follow your prescription.
Scheriproct Ointment is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). You must consult a licensed medical professional before use to ensure it’s appropriate and safe for your condition.
For those dealing with the painful symptoms of haemorrhoids or anal irritation, Scheriproct offers effective, clinically proven support in a convenient and fast-acting form.
