A prescription-strength hemorrhoidal treatment designed to provide immediate local relief from the intense pain, swelling, redness, and continuous itching associated with both external and internal hemorrhoids (piles), anal fissures, and severe anal itching (pruritus ani).
Scheriproct Ointment combines two highly effective active ingredients that deliver a targeted, dual-action treatment directly to the inflamed anal and 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, burning sensations, and skin irritation, particularly during and right after bowel movements.
External Hemorrhoids (Piles): Calming inflammation, relieving burning pain, and shrinking swollen, painful lumps located around the outer skin of the anus.
Internal Hemorrhoids: Managing bleeding and swelling located inside the lower rectum using the provided screw-on applicator.
Anal Fissures: Relieving severe pain and calming inflammation associated with minor tears or cracks in the skin lining of the anal canal.
Pruritus Ani: Soothing intense, persistent itching around the anal region.
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 skin and 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 applying the ointment. This ensures the medication remains on the tissue long enough to absorb properly without being instantly wiped away.
The Pea-Sized Rule: For external application, a small, pea-sized amount is entirely sufficient to coat the painful area. Do not rub the ointment in aggressively; smooth it over the skin gently.
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.Smooth a small amount over outer lumps:External Application.
Squeeze a small, pea-sized amount of ointment onto your fingertip. Apply it gently over the painful external hemorrhoids or itchy areas around the outer skin.
3.Use the nozzle attachment for deep relief:Internal Application.
If treating internal piles, screw the plastic applicator nozzle firmly onto the tube. Lubricate the tip with a drop of ointment, insert it carefully into the anus, and squeeze the tube gently while withdrawing it.
4.Clean your equipment and wash hands:Sanitization Lock.
Remove the plastic applicator nozzle after internal use and wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Screw the tube cap back on tightly and wash your hands well with soap.
Scheriproct Ointment begins working within minutes of application as the cinchocaine numbs 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 external 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 immediately after application, which usually fades within minutes.
Local skin irritation, thinning, or mild dryness around the anus if used continuously for longer than the recommended 7 days.
How often should I apply Scheriproct Ointment?
On the very first day of treatment, when pain and inflammation are at their worst, your doctor or pharmacist may direct you to apply the ointment up to 3 or 4 times daily to gain initial control over symptoms. Once the discomfort eases, reducing application to 1 or 2 times daily (typically once in the morning and once after a bowel movement) is standard.
Can I use Scheriproct Ointment if my hemorrhoids are bleeding?
Hemorrhoids frequently bleed slightly, leaving bright red streaks on toilet tissue. While it is safe to apply the ointment to minor hemorrhoidal bleeding, sudden, heavy, or continuous rectal bleeding requires immediate medical attention. Stop using the ointment and consult your doctor to ensure a safe assessment.
Can I use this ointment long-term to prevent hemorrhoids from coming back?
No. Scheriproct Ointment contains a corticosteroid and must never be used as a daily preventative or for longer than 7 consecutive days. To prevent hemorrhoids from returning long-term, focus on dietary updates such as increasing your daily fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding straining on the toilet.
