Proctosedyl is a highly effective, specialized rectal treatment containing a synergistic blend of Cinchocaine Hydrochloride (a potent local anesthetic) and Hydrocortisone (a mild corticosteroid). It works by rapidly numbing the affected area to eliminate pain and itching, while simultaneously reducing the inflammation and swelling of the hemorrhoidal tissues. This dual action provides both immediate comfort and long-term healing for internal rectal conditions.
In Nigeria, Proctosedyl is a trusted clinical choice for the rapid management of painful "piles" and anal fissures. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, temperature-controlled suppositories manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards (Sanofi) to maintain the stability of the active medicinal ingredients.
Important: This medication is intended for short-term use only (usually no more than 7 days). Prolonged use of corticosteroids on sensitive rectal tissues can lead to skin thinning or systemic absorption. If you notice rectal bleeding, or if your symptoms do not improve within a week, consult a healthcare professional immediately to rule out more serious underlying conditions.
Proctosedyl Suppositories are primarily used to:
Provide rapid relief from the intense pain and "stinging" associated with internal hemorrhoids (piles)
Effectively stop the persistent itching (pruritus ani) caused by rectal inflammation
Reduce the swelling and congestion of inflamed rectal tissues
Manage discomfort and promote healing in acute anal fissures
Provide post-operative relief following hemorrhoidectomy or other rectal surgeries
Lubricate the anal canal to make bowel movements less painful during a flare-up
This product is suitable for:
Adults suffering from painful internal hemorrhoids requiring localized treatment
Individuals with inflamed anal fissures seeking rapid pain relief
Patients requiring a powerful anti-inflammatory and anesthetic combination as directed by a doctor
Not recommended for: Children under the age of 12 unless specifically directed by a pediatrician. It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with viral, fungal, or tubercular infections of the skin or rectum. Avoid use if you have a known hypersensitivity to "caine" type anesthetics or corticosteroids. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting treatment.
For best results, use the suppository after a bowel movement and after cleaning the area
Wash your hands thoroughly before and after insertion
Remove the foil wrapper and moisten the tip of the suppository with a little water or water-based lubricant
Lie on your side with one knee pulled toward your chest and gently insert the suppository, pointed end first, high into the rectum
Remain lying down for a few minutes to ensure the medication melts and stays in place
Standard Dose: Usually one suppository in the morning, one at night, and one after each bowel movement (up to 3–4 daily)
Store in a cool, dry place (ideally below 25°C); if the suppository feels soft, place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before opening
Proctosedyl is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience:
A mild, temporary burning or stinging sensation upon insertion
Increased sensitivity or redness in the rectal area
Rare: Thinning of the rectal lining if used for more than 7 consecutive days
Rare: Systemic steroid effects (if used excessively over a long period)
Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience a severe skin rash, intense rectal pain, or signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

Will this "cure" my piles permanently?
Proctosedyl is excellent for treating the symptoms (pain, swelling, itching) of a flare-up. To prevent piles from returning, it is important to eat a high-fiber diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid straining during bowel movements.
Can I use the ointment and the suppository together?
Often, doctors recommend the ointment for external relief and the suppository for internal relief. However, you should check with our pharmacist to ensure the total daily dose of Hydrocortisone remains within safe limits.
How soon will I feel relief?
The local anesthetic (Cinchocaine) usually begins working within a few minutes of insertion to numb the pain. The swelling and inflammation typically start to subside significantly within 24 to 48 hours of consistent use.
Where can I purchase Proctosedyl Suppositories in Nigeria?
You can find premium, verified Proctosedyl at Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores for guaranteed product quality and professional pharmaceutical care.
