Overview

Proctosedyl Ointment is supplied as an ointment, with Hydrocortisone. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Apply Proctosedyl Ointment to the affected area as directed by your doctor, usually in the morning and evening and after each bowel movement, using the applicator provided for internal application if advised. Wash and dry the area gently before application, and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Do not use for longer than the duration recommended by your doctor.

Dosage

Proctosedyl Ointment is typically applied twice daily, with an additional application after each bowel movement if needed, for a short course generally not exceeding about 7 days unless your doctor advises a longer period. Prolonged or repeated use without medical review is not recommended due to the corticosteroid component.

Shelf Life

Proctosedyl Ointment remains stable until the expiry date printed on the tube or carton when stored correctly and left unopened. Do not use the ointment after the expiry date, and discard any tube that has been open longer than the manufacturer’s recommended period after opening.

Storage Instructions

Store Proctosedyl Ointment below 25°C in a dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight, and keep it out of the reach of children.

  • Broken or ulcerated skin unless specifically directed by your doctor

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroid products on the same area may increase the risk of skin thinning
  • Limited systemic absorption means clinically significant drug interactions are uncommon, but your doctor should be informed of all other topical treatments in the area
  • Avoid combining with other local anaesthetic products unless advised, to prevent excessive numbing or irritation

  • Clean and dry the affected area gently before each application
  • Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the ointment
