Scheriproct Ointment

Scheriproct ointment is a prescription treatment used to manage painful, inflamed, and itchy haemorrhoids. It is designed for short-term use when piles cause significant discomfort, swelling, or irritation around the anus.

Scheriproct ointment contains two active ingredients, cinchocaine hydrochloride and prednisolone hexanoate. These work together to numb pain and reduce inflammation directly at the affected area. This dual-action approach allows faster relief from pain, itching, and rectal swelling.

You can order Scheriproct ointment online from Pharmacy Planet after completing a short and free consultation. One of our UK prescribers reviews your details to ensure the treatment is suitable before approval and dispatch.

Scheriproct ointment is a prescription-only treatment for haemorrhoids and anal inflammation and is supplied with an applicator for internal application. It is intended for short-term management of piles and anal inflammation.

Scheriproct ointment is commonly prescribed when haemorrhoids are painful, swollen, or itchy and require both inflammation control and pain relief.

What is Scheriproct Ointment Commonly Prescribed For?

Scheriproct ointment is used for:

• Internal and external haemorrhoids (piles).
• Anal itching and irritation.
• Rectal swelling and inflammation.
• Painful haemorrhoids that worsen during bowel movements.

Scheriproct ointment works through two complementary actions that target haemorrhoid symptoms directly.

Cinchocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic. It blocks pain signals in the nerves of the affected area, creating a numbing effect that reduces pain, burning, and irritation.

Prednisolone hexanoate is a corticosteroid. It suppresses the inflammatory response that causes redness, swelling, itching, and pressure around haemorrhoids.

Together, these actions reduce pain quickly while calming inflammation, allowing the affected tissue to recover.

Always use Scheriproct ointment exactly as advised by one of our UK prescribers.

General Usage Guidance:

• Wash and dry the anal area before application.
• Apply after bowel movements where possible.
• Wash your hands before and after use.
• Use the applicator provided for internal application if required.

Dosage Guide:

• Apply a small, pea-sized amount to the affected area.
• Use two to three times daily.
• On the first day, up to four applications may be used if symptoms are severe.
• Continue treatment for 5 to 7 days.
• After symptoms improve, reduce to once daily for a few days.
• Do not use it for longer than 4 weeks.

For internal use, the applicator can be attached to the tube and gently inserted. External haemorrhoids may be covered with a thin layer of ointment.

Scheriproct ointment may be suitable for:
