Overview
Proctosedyl Suppository is a rectal suppository combining hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, with cinchocaine hydrochloride, a local anaesthetic. It is used for the short-term symptomatic relief of haemorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures, including associated itching, pain, swelling, and discomfort.
Hydrocortisone reduces local inflammation by suppressing the release of inflammatory mediators in the affected tissue, easing swelling and irritation. Cinchocaine hydrochloride works by blocking nerve signal conduction at the site of application, producing fast, temporary numbing that relieves pain and itching.
How it Works
Hydrocortisone suppresses local inflammatory mediators to reduce swelling, redness, and irritation, while cinchocaine hydrochloride blocks nerve conduction at the treated site to provide rapid, temporary pain and itch relief – together addressing both the inflammation and the discomfort of haemorrhoids and anal fissures.
Directions for Use
Wash your hands before and after use. Insert the suppository into the rectum, ideally after a bowel movement and after gently cleaning the area, as directed by your doctor or the product leaflet. Use only for the recommended duration, and seek medical review if symptoms have not improved after about a week or if they worsen.

Proctosedyl Suppository is usually inserted rectally once or twice daily as directed by your doctor, typically for a short course only. This product is not intended for prolonged, continuous use without medical review – follow your doctor’s instructions on the exact duration for your condition.
