Buy Scheriproct Ointment 

Scheriproct Ointment is a haemorrhoid treatment that reduces inflammation and eases pain.

It should only be used short-term, usually for 5-7 days.

How Scheriproct Ointment works

Scheriproct Ointment contains two active ingredients: prednisolone and cinchocaine. 

Prednisolone is a corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation.

Cinchocaine is a local anaesthetic which works by relieving pain.

Directions

Always use Scheriproct Ointment exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. 

Before using the ointment, gently and thoroughly wash and dry the anus.

If you are using the ointment in the area around the anus: 

Squeeze a small amount of ointment onto your finger and spread it gently over the skin and just inside the anus. Do not rub it in.

If you are using the ointment inside the anus:

Screw the separate applicator completely onto the tube. Do not use the applicator if it is damaged. Squeeze the tube until the applicator is full of ointment. The amount of ointment in the applicator is one dose. Insert the applicator very carefully into the anus until the whole length of the applicator is inside. Then, while squeezing the tube gently, withdraw the applicator. After each use, clean the applicator.

The ointment should be applied twice daily. On the first day of treatment, you can apply the product 3 or 4 times daily for quick relief.
